Ingredients
- 1 cup white sesame seeds hulled
- 2 Tbsp neutral oil
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until they’re lightly golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Once they’re toasted, let the seeds cool.
- Transfer the cooled sesame seeds to a food processor or blender and blend them until they form a crumbly paste.
- Add Oil: lowly pour in the oil while continuing to blend. If you find the mixture too thick, add a little more oil until you reach a smooth and pourable consistency. Remember to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
- Taste your tahini and add a pinch of salt to your liking.
