Ingredients:
- 150 g toasted black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of honey
Directions:
1. Toast the Sesame Seeds: Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they become aromatic, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
2. Process the Seeds: Place the toasted sesame seeds in a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms. This process takes time as the oils will need to be released, so take breaks to avoid overheating the motor of the food processor.
3. Monitor the Consistency: Initially, the seeds will turn crumbly. As you continue blending, they will thicken into a paste and eventually become more liquid. Add the honey towards the end of this process and blend until fully combined.
4. Store: Transfer the paste into a sterilized jar. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Serving Suggestion: This sweet black sesame paste is versatile and adds a special touch to desserts, spreads, and various dishes. It’s perfect for black sesame lattes, ice cream, and many other creative applications.
Some Recipe Tips:
Choose Quality Seeds: Opt for high-quality, organic black sesame seeds for the best flavor and health benefits.
Experiment with Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste, or try different sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar for variety.
Flavor Enhancements: For an added twist, consider incorporating a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract during blending.
