Directions
- Roast the sesame seeds by placing them on a baking sheet in a thin layer in a convection oven at 265°F/140°C for about 30 minutes. Mix the seeds during this process to prevent the ones on the bottom from burning. Remove from oven.
- Pour the sesame oil into your Premier Chocolate Refiner and start adding the sesame seeds, 100g - roughly ½ cup at a time, making sure mixture is fully incorporated before adding more. If necessary, gently increase the temperature using a heat gun, being careful to never exceed 140°F/60°C.
- Allow mixture to process for 3 hours.
- Once tahini has reached the desired consistency, proceed with removing the contents of the drum. For optimal results, store the spread in sterilized, airtight glass jars.
