Our easy, creamy Thermomix Tahini is much better than store-bought versions and is made for a fraction of the cost. Use it in dips, dressings, spreads, salads, and more.

I love making Tahini in the Thermomix. It's incredible how these little sesame seeds are ground to become a wonderfully thick and creamy paste in just a few minutes.
I use it to make Thermomix Hummus and salad dressings. Still, there are endless possibilities with this versatile ingredient.

Notes
1. Sesame seeds: You can use white or black sesame seeds.
2. Oil: Use a neutral-flavoured oil such as sunflower, grapeseed or avocado. I don't recommend olive oil as it has a strong flavour.
Ed Caputo says
I made it today and it came out perfectly! I used it to make a simple Tahini Sauce with garlic and lemon, which I will use to make hummus and salads. Next time I'll grind the sesame seeds a bit longer, so they come out finer, but they are ok at 30 seconds.

So glad you enjoyed it Ed! Vicki.
