Notes

If you want a deeper flavour, toast your sesame seeds first. You may do this on a lined baking sheet in the oven, or in a large skillet. Turn the seeds often to prevent burning, you just want to toast them until fragrant.

For creamier tahini, you may use hulled sesame seeds, and/or add 1-2 tbsp of a neutral oil.

Tahini will keep refrigerated in an air tight container for up to 1 month, possibly longer.
