Servings: 1 320g jar
Calories: 91kcal
Ingredients
- 350 g white sesame seeds hulled
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil or neutral tasting oil optional
Instructions
- Place a large dry pan on medium high heat. Add in your sesame seeds and stir continuously to prevent the seeds from burning. Toast until the seeds are a nice golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
- Pour your cooled sesame seeds in the food processor and blend until smooth and runny. You can add in some olive oil to help speed up the process but with continuous blending the seeds will release its own oils and will become runny on its own. Place the tahini in an airtight jar and store for future recipes. (I like to label my jar with the date it was made to keep track of freshness)
Notes
*I don't add any seasonings to the tahini to make it an easier base for future recipes. Feel free to season and adjust according to your taste.
