- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.

Toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Once the sesame seeds are cool, transfer them to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Step 5
Process the sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until they begin to form a crumbly paste.
Step 6
Gradually add the neutral oil, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to process, until the tahini reaches your desired smooth and pourable consistency.
Step 7
Add salt to taste and process again for a few seconds to mix thoroughly.
