Well, friends! Who's been suffering from the lack of tahini? Hummus lovers - come on! This sesame paste is very easy to make at home - you only need sesame seeds, refined vegetable oil and a blender.

In addition to hummus tahini can be added, for example, in baked goods - cookies, muffins, filling for french macarons, etc. It can also be added to stir-fryed foods. It is very tasty and flavorful.

Ingredients for 350 g of tahini:

Base

sesame seeds
300 g
refined vegetable oil
75 ml

Recipe:

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat.

Toast, stirring constantly, until golden.

I strongly recommend that you do not go anywhere while the sesame seeds are toasting – they burn very easily!

Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a blender cup and add the vegetable oil. Use the blender to make a paste.

It will look like this at first.

Do not be embarrassed and keep blending. If the mixture is still too thick – add more oil a little at a time.

Store the finished tahini in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy!
