Homemade Tahini (2 ways)

Ahoy, tahini lovers! It is I, your exalted Captain here to guide you through the rough and rugged seas of your tahini making journey!... Christ… that just sort of slipped out. Sorry.
Anyhoo, today we’re going to take a look Tahini aka sesame seed paste. This stuff is a great condiment to have around the crib and comes in handy for a number of applications; think sauces, baked goods, even soup! (Think Dan Dan Noodles.) I chose to leave out any outside seasoning to keep the paste flexible to cook with in the future.
The black tahini will need a touch less fat than the traditional, but they taste very similar. Simply put black tahini is made from black seeds which still have their hulls (shells) on, while the traditional tahini is made from white seeds which have had the hull removed. The main difference is, to me, the black tahini seems to be a little creamier which I really like; also I think the hulls from the black seeds make the black tahini even more flavorful, pungent and sesame-forward. The black tahini looks stunning baked into cookies (hint hint) or made into hummus or a dressing.
There’s really not much else to say here. The ingredients and techniques are level 1/10 simple so I know you’re going to crush this. Happy cooking! 🤘🏻Adam
P.S. Be mindful when toasting black sesame seeds, it's tough to tell when they're finished toasting at a glance so use your other senses.

I assume you toast the black sesame seeds as well, right? Didn't see it in the video, but it only makes sense.

[@TorisTestKitchen]

Awesome video. I’m looking forward to the content to come.

[@AdamWitt]

Thank you Tori!

[@abc_cba]

Just add in a dash of lime and some maple syrup into it next time, that would not only increase the shelf life but alter the bitterness to a nice mellow one.

[@AdamWitt]

Interesting idea, I like.

[@justinkhanna]

Ooo black sesame cookies...got me thinkin'....🖤

[@nikenike6747]

Hello from Athens, Greece! How can I make sesame oil? thanks

[@HeenaAkbar]

Can black tahini be used to make hummus ?

[@AdamWitt]

Yes it can. It makes a gorgeous black hummus and baba ghanoush.

[@HeenaAkbar]

@@AdamWitt Aww thanks for replying. Your video is edited beautifully and a treat to watch. Keep up the great work ❤️

[@AdamWitt]

@@HeenaAkbar Thank YOU for watching :)

[@kunwang1826]

can you add honey instead of oil?

[@kaywhy2665]

Which brand is your blender?

[@Bownhead_]

would using sesame oil instead of olive/grapeseed oil be to much or even better?

[@AdamWitt]

Hmm, I suppose that answer is up to you. But I say try it and see how it turns out. Let me know.

[@Bownhead_]

@@AdamWitt I will, thanks

[@norastalgic]

Does it work with any blender?

[@AdamWitt]

Yep. Just know your blender and add little by little if you need too. Just be sure to add enough seeds so it "catches" easier.

[@allisonplf7]

Why not use sesame oil? Make the sesame fragrant even better.

[@bkfn]

You missed to mention Hummus in the end!!!

[@krzysbass]

Don't you have to roast black sesame seeds?

[@AdamWitt]

Roasting def brings out another layer of complexity.

[@sanomihoi8406]

Is that a yes or a no?

[@Followtanika]

I’m the idiot who bought a jar of tahini that cost 10$ 😑

[@AdamWitt]

These things happen! Next time try this out.

[@Pridetoons]

4. Make Yellow, Red, or Black Tahini at home.

[@tiathompson6674]
