Toasted Sesame Oil

How to make Toasted Sesame Oil

Prep Time: 5 minutes, plus straining        |        Cook Time: 5 minutes        |        Serves: Makes approx. 100ml

Ingredients

• 60g Stonemill sesame seeds
• 150ml Pure Vita canola oil

Method

1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over a medium heat, stirring until caramel coloured. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Place the oil into a small high-powered blender or smoothie maker and add the warm seeds. Whizz for 30 seconds or until completely smooth.
3. Line a strainer with a double layer of muslin and set over a bowl. Strain the oil by leaving it overnight, without pushing the mixture through, as this will cause it to become cloudy.
4. Pour into a small, lidded jar and store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

OPTIONAL:

Don't let the sesame seeds get too brown or they will become bitter.
