Freshly Ground Tahini

Sesame seeds are very high in iron, magnesium, and phosphorus making this dressing a nutritional powerhouse. Use it as a base for hummus and stuffed vegetables, and with a wide variety of salads. The sesame oil gives the dressing an extra depth of flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

Roast the sesame seeds by placing them on a baking sheet in a thin layer in a convection oven at 265°F/140°C for about 30 minutes. Mix the seeds during this process to prevent the ones on the bottom from burning. Remove from oven.        

Pour the sesame oil into your Premier Chocolate Refiner and start adding the sesame seeds, 100g - roughly ½ cup at a time, making sure mixture is fully incorporated before adding more. If necessary, gently increase the temperature using a heat gun, being careful to never exceed 140°F/60°C.

Allow mixture to process for 3 hours.

Once tahini has reached the desired consistency,  proceed with removing the contents of the drum. For optimal results, store the spread in sterilized, airtight glass jars.

Yield: Approximately 1 kg/2.2 lbs of Tahini.
