Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.
⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorBlender
💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.
💡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.)

Add the sesame oil and olive oil gradually, while the blender is running, until the paste is smooth.
⚙ Fat in a Thin StreamBlender
💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.

Add the lemon juice and salt and process until creamy.
