Ingredients

2 cups hulled sesame seeds
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or any other neutral tasting oil), plus more if needed

Instructions

Heat a dry, clean skillet over medium high heat.
Add hulled sesame seeds and toast while stirring for 4-5 minutes until the oils are released and they are golden and fragrant.
Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes.
Add the seeds to a food processor and process until crumbly and sand-like in texture.
Add olive oil, and process until smooth and runny in consistency. Add more oil for a thinner consistency, and pause to scrap down the sides with a spatula, if needed.
Store in an airtight jar for up to 1 month in the fridge.
