It’s so easy to turn sesame seeds into tahini, all thanks to the Thermomix.
Many other recipes use sesame oil but if you persevere with milling at a lowish speed, there is no need to add oil.
250g sesame seeds
Place sesame seeds in TM bowl and dry roast 10 min/Varoma/speed 1, leaving MC off to keep seeds as dry as possible. Allow to cool slightly and place a sheet of paper towel between the TM lid and MC to stop seeds flying out.
Mill for 4-5 min/speed 8-4 decreasing speed gradually and scraping down sides regularly. After 2-3 minutes you may need to let it cool down for a bit. Continue milling at speed 4 until you achieve your desired consistency. Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge.

Leave enough in the TM bowl to then make the Oil-Free Hommus recipe in Sauce ‘n’ Dippity or the dressing for Moroccan Quinoa Salad in Soup-A-Salads.
