DIRECTIONS
|
1:
To make TAHINI: Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over a low-medium heat. Stir frequently until the seeds are lightly golden (not dark golden!) and fragrant. This will only take 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them, or your tahini will taste bitter.

|
2:
Add to a food processor along with 1 tbsp of oil and start blending. You'll need to pause and scrap down the sides every few seconds to help the process along. You can add an extra tbsp of oil if you want a runnier consistency. Continue blending until runny and smooth, this should only take around 5 minutes.
|
|
3:
Once you have your preferred consistency, transfer into a clean jar with an air-tight lid. It will keep well at room temperature for over a month.

|
4:
To Make TAHINI SAUCE: In a small bowl mix together the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Let sit 10 minutes, this helps to mellow the garlic flavor. Stir in tahini and then slowly stir in water adding more water if necessary, to achieve a dippable consistency.
