Homemade Tahini from Scratch

Turn raw Humera sesame seeds into silky homemade tahini — just two steps.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Balsam Raw Humera Sesame Seeds
• 3–4 tbsp neutral oil
• Pinch of salt

METHOD

1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and fragrant.
2. Let cool slightly, then blend with the oil and salt in a food processor for 5–8 minutes, scraping down the sides, until completely smooth.

Toasting the seeds first (rather than blending them raw) is what gives homemade tahini its characteristic nutty depth.
