Tahini Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Whole30 Gluten-Free
Serves 6
Ingredients
  • 7 oz sesame seeds
  • 3 fl oz olive oil
  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 7 garlic cloves pressed
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • sea salt to taste
Directions
  1. Add sesame seeds to a wide, dry saucepan over medium-low heat and toast, stirring constantly until the seeds become fragrant and turn light golden in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful; sesame seeds can burn quickly.
  2. Add the toasted sesame seeds to the bowl of a food processor, then process until a crumbly paste, about 1 minute.
  3. Add 2 Tbsp of the oil, then process for 2 to 3 minutes more, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the food processor a couple of times...this is called Tahini.
  4. Check the tahini�s consistency. It should be smooth, not gritty, and should be pourable. You may need to process for another minute and add 1 to 2 more Tbsp of oil.
  5. Taste the tahini for seasoning, then add salt to taste. Process 5 to 10 seconds to mix.
  6. Store extra tahini in an airtight container for one month. Or make hummus by adding a can of garbonzo beans and pureeing with a hand blender.
  7. Boil the potatos for 10 minutes or until tender.
  8. Drain potatoes and add garlic, 1/4 cup of tahini and chicken stock.
  9. Mash or blend until desired.
  10. Season with sea salt to taste.
