Homemade Dark Sesame Tahini

If luck were a person, it would be me. The #CA2025 challenge is still underway, and tell me why I have not cooked in ages, yet tucked away in my drafts is a recipe featuring sesame. And guess what? Sesame just happens to be one of the key ingredients for this week’s submission. So here it is: a dark sesame tahini recipe that begins with roasting sesame seeds until they turn a rich, nutty brown, giving it that deep, peanut butter–like color and flavor.
