where do you find Tahini (sesame seed paste) i cant find it

[promet]

I would check in your local health food store. If there, it would probably be in there in the "peanut butter" area.

It's in most grocery stores near olives and similarly Middle Eastern things, but sometimes it's in the "health foods" section. They carry it in most grocery stores, but sometimes the staff doesn't know what it is, so you might have to ask a manager.

If you're using a blender, put the tahini in LAST. It thickens the mix so it gets thrown on the walls of the blender.

I suppose, but I never tried it, that sesame seed paste could be obtained by processing them in the food processor. I use a coffee grinder to mill grains, like flaxseeds and so.
