Make tahini: add sesame seeds to the bowl of a food processor then process until a crumbly
paste forms, about 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil then process for 2-3 minutes more,
stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the food processor a couple of times.
Check the tahini’s consistency. It should be smooth, not gritty and should be pourable. You may
need to process for another minute or add the additional tablespoon of oil.

Taste the tahini for
seasoning then add salt to taste. Process 5-10 seconds to mix it in.

To store: store tahini covered in the refrigerator for one month. You may notice it separates
over time, like a natural peanut butter would. If this happens, give the tahini a good stir before
using.
