How to Make Homemade Tahini & Tahini Dip

Ingredients:

2 cloves of garlic
Juice of 2 large lemons
6 Tbsp tahini
Pinch of ground cumin
1 tsp freshly chopped parsley

1. Soak Sesame seeds in water for 25 hours. They are then crushed to loosen the bran from the kernels. To separate the bran from the kernels, the seeds are soaked again is very salty water, where the bran sinks. The floating kernels are skimmed off the water and then grilled. At that point, it is ground in a mill, which produces the thick, oily paste known as tahini.

2. Crush the garlic and salt together.

3. Mix with a little lemon juice and blend with the tahini.

4. Add the cumin and remaining lemon juice to form a smooth paste, like peanut butter.

Use additional garlic if you want the tahini to taste stronger. If it is too thick, loosen it with a little water.
