- 40 gsesame seeds (whole)
- 0.4 tspGray sea salt (fine)

Method
A shower of golden seeds that crunch under the tooth. The powerful scent of toasted sesame is released as soon as the grains are crushed.
- 1
Rinse the seeds in cold water using a fine mesh sieve. Drain them thoroughly. The surface should be just damp to ensure even 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.

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.
