Tahini

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup (140g) Sesame Seeds, Hulled2-4 Tablespoon Light Olive OilPinch of Salt, optional

METHOD

Toast sesame seeds: add sesame seeds to a wide, dry saucepan over medium-low heat and toast, stirring constantly until the seeds become fragrant and very lightly colored (not browned), 3-5 minutes. Transfer toasted seeds to a baking sheet or large plate and cool completely. (Careful here, sesame seeds can burn quickly.)Make tahini: add sesame seeds to the bowl of a food processor then process until a crumbly paste forms, about 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil then process for 2-3 minutes more, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the food processor a couple of times.Check the tahini’s consistency. It should be smooth, not gritty and should be pourable. You may need to process for another minute or add the additional tablespoon of oil. Taste the tahini for seasoning then add salt to taste. Process 5-10 seconds to mix it in.To store: store tahini covered in the refrigerator for one month. You may notice it separatesover time, like a natural peanut butter would. If this happens, give the tahini a good stir before using.
