Easy homemade tahini paste
Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seeds, hulled
- 3 Tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat and add sesame seeds. Stir constantly until golden brown. Be careful—sesame seeds burn easily. Remove from heat and let cool.
Add the sesame seeds to a food processor and add the olive oil. Process the mixture and scrape the sides to help blend the paste. If you would like the mixture to be more watery, slowly add more olive oil or warm water. Store the tahini paste in an airtight container and refrigerate.
