I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Holidays Of The World Cookbook For Students. This recipe is from Yemen.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sesame seeds (available at middle eastern and health food stores)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil (more or less as needed, for garnish) (optional)
Directions:
1. Put sesame seeds in electric blender or nut grinder and grind until smooth and lump free.
2. Transfer to small bowl, and add lemon juice, vegetable oil, and water; mix to a smooth paste. Cover and refrigerate.
3. To serve tahini, mound on a small plate and drizzle with olive oil. It can be used as a spread for crackers or a dip for raw vegetables.
4. Covered and refrigerated, tahini keeps well for several months.
