I got a new Cuisinart spice grinder and this recipe came with it!! A vital ingredient to hummus, this sesame paste is very versatile and can be used as a base in salad dressings or sauces.

SERVES 1 -2 , 1/3 cup tahini (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the sesame seeds in the bowl of a spice grinder. Pulse 6 to 8 times, until finely ground.
  2. 2
    Add the olive oil and salt and process 30 to 40 seconds, or until a paste forms.
  3. 3
    Store the tahini in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months!
