@hipgnosys no, oil is necessary for the tahini paste and helps to preserve it.

I just finish making the tahini paste on my blender. It took longer than expected in the blender using the grind button and I did have to stop and go a coulple of times but I didn't have to add the extra water. It came out really smooth. Can't wait to make me some hummus.

@AnAmericanIdle i would soak/sprout the seeds if you don't want to cook them

Thanks, that turned out really good in my hummus. Can you pls upload Shawarma recipe?
By: ajuba13
By: ajuba13
@AnAmericanIdle well you are not cooking the seeds you are just heating them enough to let the seeds release the oils in order to make good tahini and the flavor is a little bit different than unroasted. BUT you can definitely make tahini without roasting the sesame seeds as a raw tahini :)

By: dedemed
does heat remove nutrition from seeds? can tahini taste just as good with unroasted seeds? thanks
