Nurodymai

Toast the sesame seeds: Add sesame seeds to a wide, dry saucepan over medium-low heat and toast, stirring constantly, until the seeds become fragrant and turn light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stay close and keep stirring, as the seeds can burn quickly.

Make tahini: Add the toasted sesame seeds to the bowl of a food processor, then process until a crumbly paste, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, then process for 2 to 4 minutes more, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the food processor a couple of times.

To finish: Check the tahini’s consistency. It should be smooth, not gritty, and should be pourable. You may need to process for another minute and add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of oil. Taste the tahini for seasoning, then add salt to taste and process for 5 to 10 seconds to mix.
