Homemade Tahini Sauce

I love the idea of making my own tahini, especially because that leads to hummus! Enjoy the following recipe and try it for yourself! You could always use it to make your own hummus! Yummy!

Tahini

Ingredients

2 cups sesame seeds
1/2 cup olive oil

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sesame seeds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast sesame seeds for 5-10 minutes, shaking the seeds frequently with a spatula. Do not allow to brown. Cool for 20 minutes.

2. Pour sesame seed into the bowl of a food processor and add the olive oil. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. The tahini should be thick, yet pourable. Add more oil and blend again if it's too thick. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.

  1. ooo yeah! I always want to try making hummus but am always too lazy to go out and get tahini. I never knew it was so easy to make it myself!
