Ingredients
- 1 cup (150 g) sesame seeds hulled or unhulled
- 2 tbsp canola oil or a mild olive oil, avocado oil
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds in a pan without oil for 5 minutes over medium heat until golden brown. Let them cool briefly. → Be careful: if the pan is too hot, the sesame seeds can burn quickly.
- Blend the sesame seeds with the oil in a food processor until you have a creamy tahini.
Notes
- Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
- If the tahini sits for a while, the oil may separate. Just stir it well before use to regain a consistent texture.
- Your food processor should be quite powerful. If your processor struggles, add more oil. It's important to mention that you require a certain amount of sesame seeds for your blender to process it well. Use at least 1 cup (150g) of sesame seeds or more, as smaller quantities may not work as well.
