How to Make Basic Homemade Tahini
- Add 1 cup of sesame seeds to your spice grinder.
- Pulse 6-8 times, or until the seeds are finely ground but not yet a paste.
- With the grinder running, slowly drizzle in 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Process for 30-40 seconds, or until a smooth, creamy paste forms. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the grinder as needed.
- Transfer your homemade tahini to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
