Tahini
Make this easy tahini right at home with just sesame seeds and olive oil. This Middle Eastern condiment resembles the same texture as nut butter and is a staple ingredient used in sauces, savory dishes, and even desserts!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 cups sesame seeds, hulled
- 1/4 cup olive oil, or more if needed
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and spread them out evenly in a single layer.
- Toast until they are a light golden brown. Stir throughout the toasting process and watch them closely so they don't burn. You will need to toast them in several batches.
- Once all the seeds are toasted and cooled, add them to a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Blend for 2-3 minutes or until the seeds are crumbly and dry.
- Add in the olive oil and blend for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.
- Add more oil if needed or desired for a runnier texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use in recipes!
