I’m free! Free from the tyranny of the ten dollar jar of organic tahini when all I need is a spoonful or two at a time! What took me so long?
This quick, easy recipe produces fresh, tasty, toasty sesame tahini for a fraction of the cost!
Easy Tahini
Ingredients:
1 cup raw sesame seeds
2 tbsp. mild flavored oil (I used sesame oil)
Method:
Toast sesame seeds lightly in a dry skillet, over medium heat, stirring slowly and constantly, just until slightly brown. Immediately transfer to a small food processor or blender.
Grind until seeds resemble small crumbs. Add a tablespoon of oil and keep grinding, scraping down the sides as needed. Add another tablespoon of oil, if needed to create a creamy consistency. Keep grinding until smooth. That’s it!!
Makes about 1/2 cup of tahini. Store covered, in the fridge.
Looks delicious Melanie! I will have to try this!
Well worth the little bit of effort 🙂 I hope you give it a go!
Love the stuff!!! Smart. Maybe I’d have done this if I had the apparatus. This is right up my alley! Time to score a cheap coffee grinder. I will no longer do without tasty stuff!! 😄✌🏼🍫
I hope you give it a try!
Looks so simple! I will have to try it 🙂
I hope you give it a try! I love the fresh flavor along with saving a few bucks 🙂
I’m definitely giving this a try. Hopefully, my food processor will have enough power to grind the sesame seeds into smithereens. 😀
It shouldn’t be a problem, the toasting softens them 🙂
Sounds pretty easy to make, thanks for the idea.. 🙂
My pleasure, Chef K!
Wow. This is great. I never thought of making my own Tahini
Super-easy to make!
I agree! I too make my own.
Right on 🙂
Thank you a million times! Gosh, that stuff is expensive!
