Homemade Tahini Paste in 10 Minutes
This quick and easy Tahini Paste comes together in 10 minutes and tastes far superior than store bought ones. Use it in your favourite hummus, dips, dressings and sauces!
Ingredients
- 200 grams sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil, ie. vegetable or avocado oil
Instructions
- In a sauté pan over low heat, toast the sesame seeds stirring constantly until fragrant and lightly golden, do not over toast or your tahini paste will taste bitter
- Pour into a small food processor and process for 1-2 minutes until the seeds are ground
- Add in 3 tablespoons oil and continue processing until smooth. This should take about 5 minutes depending on the power of your food processor. If needed, add the extra tablespoon of oil if it is too thick.
- Transfer to a 250 ml air tight mason jar
- Store at room temperature for several months
- Before using, make sure to stir the tahini well as the oil will separate over time
Notes
- You need a powerful food processor or blender to make tahini smooth
- If you're using a blender, make sure you take the time to scrape the sides and press it down with a tamper
- To help tahini not separate as much when stored, store it upside down in an air tight jar at room temperature
