Traditionally called Gomasio , this seasoning is a staple in Japanese cuisine and is a sure hit in your kitchen too! Try sprinkling on steamed veggies, white rice, on pasta tossed with a little oil, soba noodles tossed with a touch of sesame oil and green onions... the possibilities are endless! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons black sesame seeds or 3 tablespoons sub sesame seeds or 3 tablespoons tan sesame seeds, as available |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
Directions:
1. Put sesame seeds and salt on a small, heavy, dry skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Cook, stirring constistently for 3 minutes, or until both salt and seeds are lightly browned and fragrant, and a seed or 2 start to pop .
3. The sea salt may look more gray than browned.
4. Remove from heat and grind to a fairly fine powder in a blender, food processor, or spice grinder; morter and pestle also work, though be sure to grind to a powder like consistency.
5. Store in an airtight jar.
