TAHINI RECIPE
approx. 15 minutes; yield 1 cup
Please note that you can make tahini without the extra oil, but I prefer mine a little creamier. Your mileage may vary.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup of unhulled sesame seeds
2-4 TBS oil (olive oil, sesame oil, grapeseed oil, etc.)
Pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place sesame seeds in skillet and stir constantly until they are lightly toasted, usually 4-5 minutes. Transfer to plate, distribute evenly, let cool.
2. Place sesame seeds in food processor or blender. If you’re using pinch of salt, add it now. Pulse until the seeds start to break down and form a paste.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the mix, and pulse until smooth. If you would like a thinner tahini, add 2 more tablespoon and recheck, adding oil until the tahini reaches the desired consistency.
4. Move tahini to jar, store in refrigerator for up to one month.
