Ingredients

• 40 g sesame seeds ( whole )
• 0.4 tsp Gray sea salt ( fine )
• 0.4 tsp Sesame oil optional ( pure )

Instructions

1. Cleaning and drying

   Rinse the seeds in cold water using a fine mesh sieve. Drain them thoroughly. The surface should be just damp to ensure even toasting.

2. Dry toasting

   Heat a pan over medium heat, without any fat. Pour in the seeds. Stir constantly with a spatula. As soon as the seeds start to pop and take on an even golden hue, the nutty aroma should fill the room.

3. Final seasoning

   Off the heat, add the grey sea salt and sesame oil. Mix vigorously to coat every grain. Let cool on a cold tray to stop the cooking immediately.

Chef's tips

• Don't take your eyes off the pan; sesame burns in seconds once it reaches temperature.
• Crush some of the seeds in a mortar just before serving to release the essential oils.

Storage
