Ingredients
- 3 cups sesame seeds, (hulled)
- ¼ cup olive oil, (or more if needed)
Steps
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 cups sesame seeds, and spread them out evenly in a single layer.
-
Toast until they are a light golden brown. Stir throughout the toasting process and watch them closely so they don't burn. You will need to toast them in several batches.
-
Once all the seeds are toasted and cooled, add them to a food processor or high-powered blender.
-
Blend for 2-3 minutes or until the seeds are crumbly and dry.
-
Add in ¼ cup olive oil, and blend for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.
-
Add more oil if needed or desired for a runnier texture.
-
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use in recipes!
