Fresh Homemade Tahini
Ingredients
  • 5 1/2 cups sesame seeds
  • 2 1/2 cups olive oil, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and place sesame seeds on it.
2
Place the prepared baking sheet in the oven and bake, occasionally rotating it to ensure even cooking, until the sesame seeds are lightly toasted, taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Allow the baking sheet to cool down completely, which should take around 10 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
4
Once the seeds have cooled, transfer them to a food processor along with 1 and a half cups of olive oil. Process the mixture until it reaches a smooth, even consistency.
5
Continue processing the mixture by adding more olive oil as needed until you achieve a thick yet pourable texture.
