Instructions
It's mandatory to roast sesame seeds before grinding to make tahini. If you have brought tossed sesame seeds from stores, even then I recommend you to warm it up before adding into the processor.
When sesame seeds are still hot, transfer it to a processor. Add salt, if using.
Blend for a minute, open lid and scrape the sides.
Add olive oil and continue to process for 2 minutes until you get smooth pouring consistency tahini. If you want more thin flowing tahini, you can consider to add extra tablespoon of olive oil and process it further.
Tahini paste will be ready and you can store in a clean glass jar . Stays good in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.

Notes
Roasting / warming sesame seeds helps to release oil .
Use a good quality hulled white sesame seed to make a best ever tahini recipe. Sesame seeds stored in pantry for longer time turns rancid and that would make your tahini sauce taste weird.
