ShareTahini is readily available in stores across many countries.
I have made it with both vegetable oil and olive oil and decided that I like if best with a combination of the two.
It is worth making tahini in bulk to reduce waste as the sticky paste is difficult to empty cleanly from your food processor. This is the proportion of oil to sesame seeds to use, increase the quantities to suit your needs
Ingredients:
Makes about 4 cups
Homemade tahini should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. It will keep for up to 3 months.
