Homemade Tahini

Homemade Tahini

Once you try making your own tahini, you will never buy the bought stuff again! And did I mention that it costs less than the store bought stuff? Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

NOTE: Recipe can be easily doubled and stored in the fridge for 3 months.

Ingredients

¾ cup sesame seed
3 tbsp EVOO
2 pinches sea salt

Directions

1. Toast sesame seeds in a small fry pan for 30-60 seconds over medium-high heat. Make sure to stir frequently or they will “pop” out of the pan. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

2. Place seeds in a blender and pulse 6-8 times (or more) until finely ground.

3. Add the olive oil and salt and process 30-40 seconds or until a paste forms.

4. Store tahini in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
