Tasty Traditional Tahini Paste
- 2½ cups roasted sesame seeds
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
If your sesame seeds are not roasted, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven and toast, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 10 minutes. Do not let them brown. Cool before proceeding.
Place sesame seeds and olive oil in food processor. Blend until smooth. You’re looking for a thick, pourable consistency. If you need to add more olive oil, add it slowly.

Store in a tightly closed container (I use a mason jar) in the refrigerator. This will keep for about 3 months.
