Instructions
- Start by roasting the sesame seeds in a pan or in the oven at 350 F (180°C) for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Place the sesame seeds in a mortar and using a pestle, crush them until getting a very thick and crumbly paste.
- Alternatively, it is also possible to use a food processor.
- Add the oil and continue mixing until getting a thick, smooth paste.
- In order to obtain an even smoother paste, it is possible to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil, until the desired texture is obtained.
- Add a pinch of salt and mix one last time.
- Transfer the tahini to a glass jar, close it tightly and store it for up to a month in the refrigerator.
