This easy, homemade tahini recipe is super creamy and can be used in so many different recipes - including my 3-Minute Hummus! Making tahini at home is less expensive than buying it in the store and the fresh taste makes all the difference. Just toast your sesame seeds, grind them into a tahini paste in your Vitamix and add olive oil. That's it. Enjoy!

Hi guys! You've been requesting this tahini recipe for a while - so I'm happy to oblige. Especially when there are chocolate chip tahini cookies in the pipeline. ;) Enjoy! xo - Lisa

Hi Lisa! Where do you buy your sesame seeds? I'm sure the bulk bins at Whole Foods have them, but I've noticed that the nuts and seeds I get from there are sometimes already rancid.

You could add sesame oil instead of olive oil for a true taste of tahini. Also put some tbs of this tahini in a bowl, add honey, (to taste) and some water (little by little) and you just whisk it. You will have a creamy, healthy ans tasty spread. Just dont put it in the fridge because it will harden up. I love tahini and hummus! Glad I found you

I've made tahini various times and i can categorically say there is NO WAY you can add such a small amount of oil to so much sesame seed paste and have it so liquid as it is at the end of the video. It's just not possible. And by the way unless you've got a very light mild olive oil it's best to use some other vegetable oil. Olive oil can have a rather strong flavour for tahini

The one in the video is a Weck Jar, and the Jar with the clasp on it is a Le Parfait Jar both are available on Amazon. I prefer le Parfait jars for condiments i use often. And weck jars for temp food storage bc the clips and seals on the weck jars get kind of annoying... that being said... you can microwave a weck jar without the seal and metal clips... but the le Parfait you cannot remove the metal clasp around the jar. Just FYI i enjoy them both but there was some learning associated with the transition.... but they both look wonderful in my lunchbox and kitchen.
