Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., grapeseed or light olive oil)
Instructions
Place a medium-sized dry skillet over medium heat.
Add the sesame seeds to the skillet in a single layer. Toast them gently, stirring frequently, for 5–8 minutes until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Once toasted, remove the sesame seeds from the skillet and transfer them to a large plate or baking sheet to cool completely.
Place the cooled sesame seeds into a food processor or high-powered blender.
Begin processing the sesame seeds. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed, and continue blending until the seeds break down into a crumbly paste.
Add 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil and blend again. Continue blending, drizzling in the remaining tablespoon of oil gradually, until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. This may take 3–5 minutes depending on your equipment.
Taste the tahini and adjust the texture or flavor by adding a tiny pinch of salt or an additional drizzle of oil if desired.
Transfer the tahini to an airtight container or jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
