Ooooh my goodness, Tahini Paste is so hard to find in a small grocery store!!! All I wanted was to make homemade hummus for my sister and her husband on a double date night but everyone I asked at our local grocery store had no idea what I was talking about! Luckily, I came across Reeni's blog Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice and she saved my life with a recipe to make fantastic Tahini Paste for my hummus.
Ingredients:
Sesame Seeds (I had a 1 cup jar on hand)
Olive oil (I only had extra virgin, used it and had no problems)
Directions:
1) Lightly toast sesame seeds over low heat in a sauté pan for 10 minutes, stirring often. Every recipe I read specified not to brown the seeds!!
2) Allow seeds to cool, then add them to bowl of a food processor with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and pulse until a paste forms. (I ended up needing to add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil to make a paste consistency).
You now have Tahini Paste!! PHEW!!! It took less time to make than it would to find and purchase in a store!!
