with a food processor. My problem is that tahini always comes in big jars, and gets stale and bitter before I can use most of it. I usually add some toasted sesame oil and/or some sesame seeds that I've toasted. But I wish I could get some tahini in a smaller jar, or fresh-ground, like you can get peanut butter some places.
