Equipment

  • Food processor or high powdered blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw white sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat a pan and add the measured sesame seeds.
  • Dry roast in low flame for 5 minutes. Keep sauteing to avoid burning the seeds.
  • Let cool thoroughly.
  • Add to a food processor or blender jar and blend in high speed for few seconds or until the seeds turn crumbly.
  • Now add olive oil in stages and blend until creamy and light.
  • Store tahini in clean dry jar and use as required.

Notes

  • Make sure to roast the sesame seeds in low flame. Keep stirring and sauteing as the seeds can go from roasted to burnt very quickly.
  • Store your homemade tahini in a clean airtight jar and refrigerate.
  • It keeps well for 2-3 weeks if stored well. Always use a clean dry spoon to remove the required quantity.
