Tahini

Submitted by Sherri L.

"Tahini is sesame butter and used in middle eastern recipes. I've made this so many times that I could make it in my sleep. Unfortunately, I left out a very important instruction on adding the water. I've modified the instructions to address the problem with my recipe as pointed out by Anne G. in her review."

• Yields: 1 cup

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1⁄2 cup sesame oil
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Blend sesame seeds in a blender and grind until smooth.
2. Add sesame oil , salt and then slowly add water while blending. You may not need all of the water, add just enough to achieve the right consistency without making it runny. I usually add a tablespoon at a time.

I used the food processor to do it. I needed about 1/8 cup of water to have a good consistency. It was my first time tryint tahini. I used it in a recipe to do hummus. It was perfect. Thanks Sherri :) Made for Basement bargain tag game

The tahini I have seen is stores is more like a paste, this was very watery. Unfortunately I had to dump the whole batch.
