Ingredients
350-500gramsesame seeds
salt
good olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180˚C and once warm spread out the sesame seeds on a large baking tray. Place in the oven and leave to roast until they color lightly brown.
This will take roughly 15-20 minuten. Keep an eye on them so they do not become too dark.
Once they get the right color remove from the oven and leave to cool for a bit. Place in the food processor and turn until you have a paste.
Add the olive oil little by little until it has the right consistency. Add salt to taste
Keep in a closed jar for a maximum of two weeks. Probably longer if you keep it under a small layer of oil
