Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients

  • 200 gram Sesame Seeds toasted on a dry pan
  • 23 gram Oil neutral - can be increased to 1/2 dl depending on the blender's capacity

Instructions

Preparation of Sesame Seeds:

  • Toast the 200 grams of sesame seeds on a dry pan over medium heat (8 out of 14 on my stove) until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Be careful not to burn them.
  • Let the toasted sesame seeds cool completely.

Blending the Sesame Seeds:

  • Transfer the cooled sesame seeds to a blender or food processor.
  • Blend the sesame seeds until they begin to form a coarse paste. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Adding Oil:

  • Add 1/4 dl neutral oil to the blended sesame seeds.
  • Blend again until the tahini is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick or the blender struggles to work, add a little more oil (up to 1/2 dl in total).

Storage:

  • Scald a glass jar with boiling water and optionally rinse it with Atamon mixed with lukewarm water.
  • Pour the finished tahini into the jar.
  • Store in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to a month.
