I don’t have a food processor, sesame seeds or tahini sauce/paste…
I need a pretty basic, fast recipe…any suggestions?
no red pepper or red pepper flakes either…I might have cumin….hmmmm
I have a magic bullet food processor and I was wondering if anyone has made tahini sauce and what it involved. Do I need to do anything other than blend the sesame seeds into a paste?
I want to make hummus and have garbonzos and sesame seeds. I have heard of running the seeds through a coffee grinder with olive oil to make paste but I don’t have a coffee grinder. What can I do? The only food processor I have is large and I don’t think it will chop them fine enough. Any ideas welcome! Thanks!
my home made version in the food processor is lumpy with sesame seeds and has the consistency of old fashioned bulk peanut butter. How to make is completely smooth like paste?
I couldn’t find tahini at the grocery store. All I could find was hummus dip with tahini in it. Can I use this in my recipe or should I buy some sesame seeds and put them in the food processor to make tahini?
I have a blender, 10 speeds, but no food processor and need to process some tahini and fruit into a paste to make some halva. Will it work, what speed? Any tips?
Here’s the recipe directions:
8 oz tahini or sesame seeds
4 oz raisins
4 oz dates
1 tsp vanilla extract
Break down the dried fruit in the food processor until it forms one homogenous mass. By hand, break the mass into smaller pieces, and then add the seeds or tahini and vanilla. Turn the food processor on again, and keep it turning until it forms a mass again; this will take a few minutes, be patient. You may need to add a few drops of water to get it to hold together, but be careful, any more than a few drops and it will become too sticky.
When it’s become a single solid mass, take walnut-sized balls of the mixture and roll between the palms of your hands to form balls. Store in the fridge.
