Sesame salt: a simple recipe for homemade seasoning

Ingredients for Sesame salt

• 100 g white and/or black sesame seeds

• 5 ml flaky sea salt

How to make Sesame salt

1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry medium frying pan over medium-low heat, tossing often, until they are evenly deep golden brown, about 5 minutes.  

2. Transfer the toasted seeds to a food processor and allow them to cool.  

3. Add sea salt to the cooled sesame seeds and pulse until approximately half of the seeds are pulverised, ensuring some whole seeds remain, about 6–8 pulses.  

4. Alternatively, coarsely grind the sesame seeds and salt in a mortar and pestle.  

5. Do Ahead: Prepare the sesame salt up to 1 week in advance. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
