Tahini paste

Author: Amira

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sesame seeds.
  • ½ cup AP flour.
  • ½ cup vegetable oil.*

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, toast the sesame seeds unit lightly colored, took me about 7-8 minutes. Keep stirring so it will not burn or be over toasted.
  • Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • In another skillet over low-medium heat, add the flour and keep stirring for about 5 minutes. Watch out as we do not want the flour to color. Turn off heat and transfer the flour to a clean bowl.
  • In your coffee grinder, add seeds in patches and finely grind.
  • Add the ground sesame to the flour and stir to combine.
  • After you are done with all the seeds, transfer the flour-sesame mixture to a food processor or a blender, start the blender while gradually pouring in the oil until everything is well combined. Make sure to stop and scrape the sides every now and then.
  • When the mixture is homogeneous with no limps, check for consistency**.
  • Pour into an air-tight container, keeps for several months.

Notes

* You can use olive oil if you prefer to, personally I feel it affects the taste.
** It is really matter of personal preference, gradually add the oil and stop to check consistency before you complete the whole amount of oil.
