Homemade Tahini

Tahini is a simple Middle Eastern dip made of sesame seeds and oil.  It’s a key ingredient in hummus and baba ghanouj, and it can also be enjoyed on its own with breads or crackers, or as a substitute for peanut butter.
Ingredients

1 cup sesame seeds
¼ cup olive oil
Lightly toast the sesame seeds in an oven at 340°F (170°C) for about 10 minutes.  Let them cool for a minute after taking them out.

Grind them with the oil into a smooth paste using a food processor, stopping to scrape the sides when necessary.

That’s it!
