If you have ever wanted to learn how to make tahini, now is your chance. It is incredibly easy to prepare involving just two ingredients, sesame seeds and olive oil.
Place the sesame seeds in a dry pan and toast on low heat for 10 minutes. Stir often or shake the pan and watch carefully - they don't need much color. Let the seeds cool after toasting.
Add the cooled toasted sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed and add more olive oil for desired consistency.
Fill the finished tahini into a jar or airtight container. Store homemade tahini in the refrigerator.
