Tahini Ingredients

Method

Directions to Make Tahini

  1. 1

    Toast the Sesame Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a food processor. Add olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the tahini is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.

  4. 4

    Store

    Transfer the tahini to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to a month.
