Ingredients

  • 1 c. sesame seeds
  • 2-4 Tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spread out sesame seeds on a flat baking sheet. Bake for 4-5 minutes, but do NOT let sesame seeds brown.  OR use a dry cast iron skillet and toast on stove for 3-5 minutes.
Pour seeds into a food processor and add the oil and blend the seeds until you have a nice smooth paste. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for a month or more.
