So I bought a 1kg bag of sesame seeds and got with it. To be honest I made a couple of mistake. Firstly my blender is not very powerful so I should have used less sesame seeds and secondly, I got confused and I added water too. At the end I improvised a bit, adding water, olive oil and a bit of tumeric. I didnt get the super liquid tahini from the video but still my paste was eatable. I used for baba ganush and it was tasty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And&#8230;. is better my homemade tahini than the store one? To be honest, they are so different, yeah, flavour is similar, maybe more &#8220;sesamy&#8221; in the homemade. I am not a tahini expert at the end of day but I prefer the homemade, I just know it has two ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 cup (or less) of sesame seeds<\/li><li>olive oil<\/li><li>optional: 1 tsp tumeric<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Toast the sesame seeds in a pan for 4-5 minutes, until the start to sweat and get a bit brown.<\/li><li>Put the hot sesame seeds in the blender and start to mix until it forms a paste and the blender can&#8217;t do anything else. Add olive oil bit by bit. In my case, I had to add much more liquid and <s>I added spoons of water too to get to a creamy state<\/s>. Optionally, add the tumeric.<\/li><li>Pour the tahini into a clean (with boiling water) crystal jar. <\/li><li>Add some olive oil on top to avoid oxidation. Keep it in the fridge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-from-2022-01-16-10-55-52.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-836\" width=\"365\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-from-2022-01-16-10-55-52.png 632w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-from-2022-01-16-10-55-52-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 85vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second attempt.
