3/4 Cup sesame seeds
2 to 3 tbsp olive oil (skip if you have a high speed blender)
salt a pinch (optional)
For tahini (skip if using hulled sesame)
if using unhulled sesame seeds, rinse them in lots of water and rub with both your palms.
Drain them to a colander and repeat the rinse few more times.
Leave them to dry completely.
How to make tahini
roast sesame seeds on a low to medium flame until crunchy and aromatic.
Cool them completely.
Add them to a processor or blender jar along with salt if using.
Blend until the seeds are crushed well and turn fine.
Within a few minutes the seeds will begin to release oils.
If you do not have a high speed blender then add the oil as needed and blend until it turns to a smooth paste.
Store tahini in a airtight glass jar.
