Recipe Directions
Blend soaked sesame seeds, with their water, olive oil and salt. Add filtered water until the tahini has reached the desired consistency. It is ready now for any recipe calling for tahini. If you plan to use it for a sweet recipe, omit the salt. If you have cold pressed sesame oil, use that instead of the olive oil.

I made this last night with unhulled seeds. It turned out great! Can't wait to use it in some dressing recipes

next time, add less water, or more sesame. It'll work, I promise!

Aha will try this one out. Just made a batch without soaking and used a lot of oil, equal quantity to the seeds. Tasted yummy but very thick.

I've had it in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks, with no problems.

I guess I usually used hulled seeds, and I have had good results with my tahini. I sprinkle a unhulled seeds in salads, crackers, etc. Do you think that the storebought brands of tahini are made using unhulled seeds?

Thanks! That will save me lots of cash. The store bought one I get is $10 and I go thru it so fast! The seeds, on the other hand, are super cheap.
