Ingredients
- 1 cup Sesame Seeds
- 4 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch of salt optional
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.
