: Day 1 :
This recipe for tahini is a must for tomorrows recipe. This ends up being dramatically cheaper than hunting down tahini in a health food store. You’ll be surprised at how easy this is and how much it makes!
First, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, measure out 4 cups of sesame seeds.
Pour the seeds onto a large baking pan.
Place the pan in the oven. Stir every couple minutes. Depending on your oven it could take between 5 and 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven right before the seeds begin to brown. Let cool.
Pour the cooled seeds into a food processor. A blender will work if that’s all you have. Add about 1 1/4 cups of olive oil while pureeing the seeds.
And there you have it! You’ve made at least a year supply of tahini! Great to use in hummus or baba ganoush!
By the way, you can easily halve this recipe and still have enough for an entire year {depending on how often you make tahini dishes}.
Enjoy!
Blessings!
