Ingredients
Sesame Seeds
- 4 cups hulled sesame seeds
Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds: Gently toast the sesame seeds on medium-low heat while stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, or until they turn slightly golden. After toasting, allow them to cool completely to room temperature to ensure smooth blending.
- Blend the seeds: Place the cooled sesame seeds into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for one minute, using the tamper to push the seeds down into the blades. This process begins to form the tahini paste.
- Add olive oil: Pour in the olive oil and blend for an additional minute to reach a smooth, creamy consistency. Adjust blending time if necessary to achieve your desired texture.
Notes
- Use hulled sesame seeds for a smoother and less bitter tahini.
- Ensure sesame seeds are completely cooled before blending to avoid overheating the blender and preserving flavor.
- Store tahini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
- If the tahini is too thick, add additional olive oil or a small amount of water to adjust consistency.
