Making your own tahini is so easy and it's so flavorful, you'll never use store-bought again!

Instructions
- Heat a clean, dry cast iron or heavy duty skillet over medium high heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir frequently until they begin to turn golden brown and then stir constantly. Be careful, sesame seeds burn very easily.
- Once they're toasted, let them cool a few minutes then add them to a food processor. Start by adding 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Process the mixture into a paste, scraping down the sides. Add more olive oil until you reach the desired consistency (*see Note)
- Store the tahini in an airtight jar in the fridge and it will last for several months. Stir it throughly before you put it in the fridge because once it's chilled it's difficult to stir. This makes a little less than 3/4 cup tahini paste, depending on how much olive oil you use.
Notes
- * The texture may be slightly gritty, which isn't a problem, you won't notice it when you use it to make hummus for example. But if you want it a little smoother you can a high-powered food blender (I love my Vitamix).
