Tahini

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Spread sesame seeds on a shallow baking tray and bake, shaking frequently, until fragrant, 3 to 10 minutes.

Do not brown.

Cool.

Put sesame seeds in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade.

Add vegetable oil.

Process to a smooth paste, about 5 minutes.

Add more oil if necessary, to bring the paste to a thick pouring consistency.

Tahini will keep stored in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator for several months.
