• 50 g (1¾ oz) black sesame seeds, toasted
• 40 ml (1¼

Coarsely grind the sesame seeds using a mortar and pestle. Add the oil, then pour the mixture into a stainless-steel tray. Light a cold smoker* using the sawdust, place the tray inside and smoke the oil at 4°C (39°F) for 2 hours. Alternatively, you could hot smoke the sesame seed paste on the stovetop, although the result will not be the same as hot smoking produces a much harsher flavour.
