    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  3. 3
    Add the cumin, turmeric, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and grind to an even paste.
