Sesame Seed Tahini

Tahini comes in handy when cooking Mediterranean.
This is a very basic recipe to make it yourself.

Ingredients:
5 cups of sesame seeds
1 1/2 cups of olive oil
(more may be needed)

Directions:
Spread the sesame seeds out on a cookie sheet
that has been lined with parchment paper.
The parchment paper will make it easier to
collect the seeds once they have been heated.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly cook the sesame seeds for
about 7 minutes in the oven.
You are trying to gently heat the seeds,
not toast them, so try not to
get any color on the seeds.
Let the sesame seeds completely cool.
Place the sesame seeds into your
food processor and, while processing,
slowly drizzle olive oil into the seeds.
You might have to use more oil
to reach the proper consistency.
Store covered in your refrigerator.
