Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and subtley fragrant. Watch pan carefully because sesame seeds burn easily.
  2. Set aside to cool.
  3. Once cooled, place sesame seeds in a blender or food processor and blend until coarsely ground, about 30 seconds total.
  4. Add the cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Blend mixture using the pulse button setting.
  5. With machine running, {{gradually}} add the olive oil in a steady, slow stream and process mixture until smooth.
  6. Store in covered container in refrigerator. Use up within 1 month. Bring to room temperature before serving.
