Directions
Spread the sesame seeds about ⅛ inch thick on a flat baking pan or dish and bake for 12 to 18 minutes at 300℉ (150℃).
Stir once or twice and remove from oven when lightly browned and toasted.
Blend the toasted seeds, ¼ cup at a time in the blender until ground fine.
Place the seeds and all remaining ingredients in the blender and liquefy.
Heat in a saucepan on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened and hot throughout.
Serve on vegetables, grain, burgers, casseroles or pasta.
Keeps 6 to 8 days refrigerated.
