I made tahini today but I have failed. It's strange, because I've made it two times before and it was really delicious. This time the color was not as brown and it was too thick and chunky, and didn't taste good at all.
I think I didn't toast them long enough. In many recipes it says that you should toast them several minutes, which I think is far too short.
Also, after toasting I waited for the sesame seeds to cool completely, which apparently was a mistake, since the last time I made tahini I didn't do this, and it turned out great. BTW, I use unhulled sesame seeds because they are heathier.
Any thoughts? Should I just give up making tahini? Thanks in advance....
