Here is an Easy Homemade Tahini Paste Recipe which you can make in no time and refrigerate to use as required. Now there is no need to buy Tahini paste again at that exorbitant price.
Tahini is a delicious paste made using sesame seeds or til and it is popularly used in hummus recipes and other Middle Eastern recipes.
In all probability, you may have come across this ingredient in a hummus recipe and wondered which store to head to for this special ingredient?
Sometimes the Tahini purchased in stores could be a little too expensive or it might be bitter to taste. Well, let me tell you one thing, Tahini paste is super easy to make at home and the next time you’re making hummus or exploring other recipes from the Middle East, you can whip up a batch of Tahini right at home.
This Easy Homemade Tahini Paste Recipe requires exactly two ingredients – hulled sesame seeds and extra virgin olive oil. It’s better to use hulled sesame seeds as unhulled sesame could give the Tahini a slightly bitter taste. Easy right?
We are using olive oil for this tahini recipe so that the oil doesn’t overpower the whole paste. In fact, the usage of olive oil gives this paste a rich Mediterranean flavor.
To make this paste, sesame seeds are toasted in a pan on low to medium heat until browned. Toasting the sesame gives it a lovely nutty flavor and also reduces the bitterness of the sesame seeds. Then the sesame is set aside and allowed to cool. In a blender, the toasted sesame and olive oil are blended to a smooth paste. The Tahini paste is then transferred to a clean glass jar and stored in the refrigerator.
You can store this Easy Homemade Tahini Paste Recipe in the refrigerator for up to a month. You must ensure that you blend the sesame and oil completely in order to get a nice smooth paste.
There are a few recipes that I’ve come across that don’t call for oil, but I find this recipe to be super creamy and it’ll help make Hummus taste creamy too, without any trace of the seed.
You can use this delicious creamy Tahini paste in your hummus, you could also whip up a quick dressing using Tahini and it tastes great as a sauce when paired with certain snacks as well.
This Tahini paste is a fabulous vegan, gluten-free and healthy sauce that you can incorporate in a variety of recipes. Give this super easy Tahini paste a try and you’ll never go back to buying store bought Tahini paste again. Are you not convinced yet? Then try this recipe now and see for yourself.
You can use this Tahini paste for Baba Ganoush, Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus, Beet Hummus, Pumpkin Hummus or this delicious Mutabal Recipe.
