Toasted sesame seeds ground in a powerful blender until they release their oil and turn into a paste, more oil in a thin stream, and lemon and salt at the end.
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.)
