Easy Homemade Tahini Recipe
Have you ever tried making your own tahini? This easy homemade tahini recipe is so simple and you only need 2 ingredients to make it – tahini and oil. The only equipment you need is a food processor and the blending will only take 5 minutes! The results is a super runny and delicious tahini that’s better than most jars you buy from the supermarket!
Ingredients
- 280g sesame seeds hulled
- 1-2 tbsp neutral oil like extra virgin olive oil or rapeseed oil
Instructions
- Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over a low-medium heat. Stir frequently until the seeds are lightly golden (not dark golden!) and fragrant. This will only take 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them, or your tahini will taste bitter.
- Add to a food processor along with 1 tbsp of oil and start blending. You'll need to pause and scrap down the sides every few seconds to help the process along. You can add an extra tbsp of oil if you want a runnier consistency.
- Continue blending until runny and smooth, this should only take around 5 minutes.
- Once you have your preferred consistency, transfer into a clean jar with an air-tight lid. It will keep well at room temperature for over a month.
