Tahini
SImple to make, so always keep some sesame seeds handy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sesame seeds
- 2 to 4 tbsp neutral flavoured oil so a light olive oil or grape seed oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Dry fry the sesame seeds over a medium heat in a large frying pan. Toast until the seeds become fragrant and lightly coloured, but not brown! Keep them moving in the pan ... dont turn your back on them ... they will burn! :-)
- Transfer onto a large baking sheet and allow to cool
- Blitz the seeds in a food processor for about a minute until a crumbly paste forms. Add a good pinch of salt
- Add three tablespoons fo the oil and blitz for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the food processor a couple of times.
- The Tahini should be smooth and pourable ... add an additional tablespoon of oil if necessary
- Taste Tahini and add mire salt if required.
