Ingredients
300g
white sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Add the sesame seeds and spread to an even layer. Roast in the oven for 20min, or until lightly toasted but still pale (watch them carefully, you don’t want them to brown). Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
Step 2In a food processor or high-speed blender (see intro and GH TIP), whizz the cooled sesame seeds for 5-6min, scraping down the sides occasionally, or until smooth and pourable. Use immediately, or transfer to a sterilised jar or airtight container and chill until needed (up to 4 weeks; stir well before using).
GH TIP Make sure the processor/blender bowl, blade and lid are completely dry before use.
