Tahini
Tahini has many uses in the kitchen. It's great spread over warm toast, on crackers or on sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 4¼ cup (600 g) sesame seeds
Directions
- Place sesame seeds into the Vitamix container and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1.
- Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
- Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth, using the tamper to press ingredients into the blades.
Notes
Toasting raw sesame seeds gives the tahini a more intense flavor. If toasting, bake at 350°F (180°C) for 8 minutes, or until light brown.

Don't try to halve this recipe
Don't try to halve or quarter this recipe. The blades on the vitamix are so high that the sesame seeds stay under the blades and just stick to the sides.

Not what I expected, but GOOD
I've made peanut butter with my Vitamix, but this tahini is more doughy and drier in consistency than an oilier peanut butter. I usually get the tahini at Trader Joe's, so I expected something oilier than what I came up with, but the cleanup on this is easier and it tastes great! It tastes clean, healthy, and I can't wait to use it in new things!

Good
Just don't do what I did...I roasted my sesame seeds (organic raw unhulled!) and the taste is much too strong. My mistake. Other than this I'm sure this tahini must be perfect when done with hulled sesame seeds.

Sesame paste - not quite pourable
The tahini is much more like a paste than a pourable liquid, compared with the one in the video. The machine sounded like it wasn't very happy when it was at level 10, so I kept it down between level 6 and 8. It tastes just like store-bought tahini, though, and I imagine it will work similarly but just stiffer so will perhaps need to add more liquid. Does anyone know if it needs to be stored in the fridge or okay on the shelf?
