    More on Sesame Seeds

    Sesame seeds are tiny, flat oval seeds that have a nutty taste and a slight crunch. They are highly valued for their high content of sesame oil, an oil that is very resistant to rancidity and have many potential health benefits.

    Choosing and storing your sesame seeds

    Sesame seeds are sold in packets in Australia. Make sure there is no evidence of moisture and smell them before buying to make sure that they smell fresh. They have a high oil content and are prone to rancidity.

    How to make sesame vinaigrette

    1TOAST YOUR SEEDS
    Preheat your oven to 1800C (3600F). 
    Line a baking tray and pour over a thin layer of your white sesame seeds on your tray. 
    Place in the middle section of your oven checking them every 5 minutes and shaking the tray so they will toast evenly then cook until golden brown (approximately 10-15 minutes) then transfer them to a cold plate to stop the cooking process.
    Alternatively, you can place your sesame seeds in a hot frypan (use medium heat) and keep stirring them and once the sesame seeds start changing colour (they should be a light golden brown), immediately remove them from the stove and transfer to a cold plate to stop the cooking process.
