EASY TAHINI (SUPER CREAMY) | the best tahini recipe

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! You've been requesting this tahini recipe for a while - so I'm happy to oblige. Especially when there are chocolate chip tahini cookies in the pipeline. ;) Enjoy! xo - Lisa

[@barbarammarques]

Thanks. For how long can I keep it on the fridge?

[@Downshiftology]

It will stay good for about a month in the fridge. If you'd like to keep it longer, you can freeze it! :)

[@Caro-xf8jy]

Hi Lisa! Where do you buy your sesame seeds? I'm sure the bulk bins at Whole Foods have them, but I've noticed that the nuts and seeds I get from there are sometimes already rancid.

[@winromeo]

Made this! Now need to make the cookies do you have tutorial please?

[@Brainwaave]

@@Downshiftology do we need to add salt to it?

[@meilovesmac]

You could add sesame oil instead of olive oil for a true taste of tahini. Also put some tbs of this tahini in a bowl, add honey, (to taste) and some water (little by little) and you just whisk it. You will have a creamy, healthy ans tasty spread. Just dont put it in the fridge because it will harden up. I love tahini and hummus! Glad I found you

[@reginashdown]

I made this recipe today and worked like a dream. I used my cheap blender and still turned up perfect. It just took a little longer. Thank you 💚🌱

[@Downshiftology]

Amazing! Glad you enjoyed this recipe :)

[@noemiemi7213]

Thanks for sharing that, I was wondering if it would work with my blender!!

[@luckycharms8020]

Thank you! I feel like so many recipes just assume you have this very specific and expensive piece of kitchen equipment. Good to know it works in a regular blender.

[@reginashdown]

@@luckycharms8020 I know right 😉

[@lystraallicock695]

Thank you for this assurance. I came looking for someone who didn't have a vitamix but has a blender like I do. Now, I can go forward with confidence 😊. Blessings

[@ritaweinstein4056]

I got my Vitamix A3500 on Saturday!!! I wasn't planning on buying it but I walked into William Sonoma and there was it. She was staring at me whispering buy me, so I did. I made cashew milk. Now on to the tahini sauce and then I will make hummus in the same container as you all suggested.

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

They do that, those bloody Vitamixes. KitchenAid is just as willful...and insidious.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I only tried making tahini once and it was a bit of a fail in my old food processor. This will be one of the first things I do when I (finally) get a Vitamix - hopefully - soon! - Paula

[@natalielobo]

Made the tahini in the vitamix and then made hummus...why waste the tahini stuck to the sides of the blender!

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful idea!!

[@jennpipp26]

Natalie Lobo I do the same!

[@radhiadeedou8286]

Good thinking, thanks for the tip

[@dianataylordeguerrero3888]

Natalie Lobo Great idea, I just made tahini and have the garbanzos ready. Thank you!

[@vietanhtran6431]

Omg that is so smart

[@BakerlitaBakery]

I am so excited to make this, Especially the lemon Tahini Dressing! Question, have you ever tried making Tahini with sesame and sunflower seeds? Thank you :)

[@shandell279]

I love you, you actually made this from scratch (the seeds). Thank you.

[@lmarie3834]

Thank you! Will you also please do an easy to find video for your Basil Pesto recipe??

[@jaelilpop8413]

Just made this and I can't believe how easy it was!!! Next to the hummus!!

[@Downshiftology]

You're stocked and ready to go!

[@NestAndNature]

This is one of the best tahini recipes I've found. I added garlic in mine, it's so good!

[@Brainwaave]

I used 8 oz container for 1 cup and it came out super creamy without any added oil, thanks for sharing

[@serdalkaptan]

Very good recipe. Thank you for sharing.

[@AsifMongol]

Thanks... your video is short, complete and to the point... Thanks again :)

[@Downshiftology]

You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. :)

[@hendharb9718]

Thanks a lot for sharing those healthy recipes with us, I made the hummus and it was delicious. Thanks a lot .

[@Downshiftology]

You're welcome! And so happy to hear you loved the hummus recipe! :) x

[@kristiemao4275]

Every video and recipe on this channel makes me happy.

[@Downshiftology]

Happy to hear that Chris 😊

[@SharonGreen]

I’ve been wanting to make this for ages! Looks so easy. Will definitely give your recipe a try.

[@anacletwilliams8315]

Well you should.

[@zerolimit6868]

Looks good and easy. Wonder can use ready sesame powder and just add in oil to stir up into paste....

[@samanthaweigum8804]

I just throw whole sesame seeds into my hummus since the vitamix will grind both down to a paste.

[@whiskyrum2343]

This makes sense. Brilliant!

[@liliabenavides4052]

Can I do it in a blender?

[@katarinacavara7673]

Do you roast sesame seeds before or not?

[@samanthaweigum8804]

Katarina Cavara I do not and haven’t had any issues.

[@samanthaweigum8804]

Blueberry I measure them lol

[@smokypoo]

yes I was looking for this afterwatching your hummus video!

[@dalmamirabal7446]

this kinda tured into a battle of the mixers...

[@trinasaussiegarden244]

Made the hummus and almond butter today. Never had almond butter before but it's tasty and the hummus is the best I've ever had! Will add sesame seeds to the shopping list now😊

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed both recipes Trina. :) x

[@zoran6126]

which blender you have to make almond butter?

[@fionawilson2631]

Thank you for your recipe, how long will the tahini stay fresh please?

[@sophietopham8822]

Wow definitely will try this :) how long wil this last in the fridge?

[@harshitarattann1489]

I love to learn from u many of food items wow I will try in home. I have some sesame seeds. amaging.

[@sarahomar9044]

Thanks a lot for the recipe. Which brand of jars are you using in this video?

[@christinatalanda2320]

easy recipe! !! had no idea it was that simple to make. love your videos :). best to you.

[@Downshiftology]

Yep, super simple! Thanks Christina! ❤️

[@Ana_crusis]

I've made tahini various times and i can categorically say there is NO WAY you can add such a small amount of oil to so much sesame seed paste and have it so liquid as it is at the end of the video. It's just not possible. And by the way unless you've got a very light mild olive oil it's best to use some other vegetable oil. Olive oil can have a rather strong flavour for tahini

[@capecyn]

That looks great! I have unhulled sesame seeds; can that be used?

[@zoran6126]

yes, you can use unh8 ozulled sesame seeds, just roast them for few min. It is even more healthy ,as I heard.

[@muhammedazam]

Awesome .... i will try the recipe for sure. thanks

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy :)

[@gadgegal]

Love your videos and getting ready to make use of them with new Vitamix. Quick question about containers you use. Was planning on using standard mason jars for several of the recipes. Have you chosen yours for aesthetic reasons or functional reasons? I have no qualms purchasing the containers you use, I am just curios.

[@patriciaobrien3134]

Hi Lisa to make your tehini recipe I don't have the Vitamix blender shown in the video what do you suggest I would line to make your tehini recipe could you let me know Thanks Lisa Greeting from Dublin 🇮🇪 Patricia obrien

[@shelleypicott3239]

Again I have been purchasing tahini all these years instead of making something that is so simple to do....

[@valarieclay618]

I really enjoyed this video. I may give this a try even though I don't have a Vitamix. I will watch again how do you store and for how long. Thank again for this easy recipe.

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks! Store it in the fridge in a sealed glass container. It may separate a bit (like a nut butter), but just give it a stir before using. It will stay fresh for about a month. :)

[@angeladyson7367]

Wow! Thanks. Been waiting for this. I wish I had a vitamix though but it's way beyond my budget as it takes 20 mins to make in my processor. I can't wait for the cookies. Yum. 😊

[@Downshiftology]

You're welcome Angela! And yes, a Vitamix is definitely an investment. But you can still take advantage of all the recipes even with a store-bought tahini. :) x

[@aiai-j7i]

Trader Joe's has an affordable tahini that tastes great.

[@natalielobo]

I bought a reconditioned Vitamix on Amazon...about half the price of new. So far, so good.

[@bluefairyuk]

Angela Dyson Get a grinder! Mine costed £9.99 and does the same job!

[@raptureready9502]

Tahini!! Yummy

[@JourneyOfADesi]

Hi , I wanted to try this tahini recipe but can you tell for how long does it stay good in the fridge ?

[@MahaYusufEntrepreneur]

How long does this last? I know that citric acid or salt or other preservatives are added in the Markey tahini products to make them last longer. Curious to know how long does this last in fridge. LOVED it by the way!!

[@Downshiftology]

Homemade tahini will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month, but you could always freeze leftovers.

[@YTfancol]

Well, I don't have a Vitamix . I have a grinder. The sesame seeds were ground to a paste. Can I use the blender to mix the paste with the oil ?

[@SanthoshKumarP12345]

What an effortless cooking style 👍

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks a lot :)

[@debbra-lyn]

Thanks for keeping it simple …

[@ctchick05]

Sooooooo glad I watched this! The whole time I thought tahini was made from sunflower seeds LOL

[@susanfurnish4132]

Sounds great! Why not use SESAME OIL, the kind that is not toasted???

[@TheHellebelle]

I wounder if we can add the olive oil right at the beginning as well or if we have to wait for the sesame seeds to become a paste first 🤔

[@madamplant]

Fabulous!!❤

[@sehzadhussain9519]

Excellent the best recipe on utube and again from a non native (middleeast) 👍👍👍👍

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you enjoyed this recipe 😊

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

If you don't have a Vitamix, should you use a food processor or can you use another brand of blender?

[@babs1966]

Hello, I did it today and it's again a hit ... used it to make homemade Houmous ;) Sweet potatoes are roasting in the oven for now and next will make the Brocoli, Brussel sprout red onion wich is a perfect taste and combination ... Thanks for your videos Lisa ...☺

Wonderful! And yes, all those ingredients are perfect together. Enjoy! :) x

Can I use normal blender to make paste instead of olive oil can we use other cooking oil. Please reply

[@Downshiftology]

Olive oil is best for homemade tahini 😊

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, what jar did you use for the tahini? Was it a weck jar? Also, how long is it good for and does it need to be stored in the fridge?

[@morningmidnight9398]

That roasting was questionable, just roast it one cup at time or use a bigger pan.

[@thuvarakamahenthiran6518]

I will try this recipe.

[@lillyflower9774]

Great and easy! Thanks

Which one produces better tahini Food processor or Vitamix? I have both but never made tahini.

Hi dear, can I use my regular vegetable oil instead of olive oil?? Does it make any difference?

Hi, great video, how long does the tahini keep for?

[@Downshiftology]

Homemade tahini will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month!

[@HSkeleton]

Can you tell me, do you have to add oil for tahini? I currently buy raw store bought tahini which doesn’t contain oil (supposedly). Does the oil free version just involve further processing?

This was awesome, thank you so much. Looking forward to learn more from you!

The glass jar you put the tahini in, I can't seem to find the link to that?

[@johnritter1443]

The one in the video is a Weck Jar, and the Jar with the clasp on it is a Le Parfait Jar both are available on Amazon. I prefer le Parfait jars for condiments i use often. And weck jars for temp food storage bc the clips and seals on the weck jars get kind of annoying... that being said... you can microwave a weck jar without the seal and metal clips... but the le Parfait you cannot remove the metal clasp around the jar. Just FYI i enjoy them both but there was some learning associated with the transition.... but they both look wonderful in my lunchbox and kitchen.
