Tahini Recipe


·                       4 c. white sesame seeds
·                        1/4 c. olive oil

Buy roasted Sesame Seeds

If you can not find roasted sesame seeds. Just roast them a preheated oven at 350 degrees for at least 10 minutes. Stir 2 times making sure they get golden but not brown.

Blend the sesame seeds and olive oil in a blender until the mixture is smooth and pour-able. Adding more oil if the mixture is too thick to pour easily.

Storing: It can be kept fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month. 

It can be used for a dressing on a simple tomato and cucumber salad, a sandwich spread, on some whole wheat noodles, or even as a dip.
