So i did more research on it and tried to make some of the famous middle eastern recipes. This sauce is the base for max of them so made it first.Give it a try, its taste is realy unique and nice.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup olive oil
5-6 garlic cloves
1/4 cup lemon juice

First dry roast the sesame seeds and let them cool.When they get cooled, grind them dry in mixie till they get crushed well and oil comes from them.Now add some olive oil and grind more till it forms a smooth paste.Add more olive oil if paste is not of pourable consistency and blend more.Tahini paste is ready.
