125g blanched almonds
1/4 cup tahini

Blanched nuts - means that the skin has been removed by adding the nuts the boiling hot water for 5 seconds and then immediately removing them from the hot water, so that it makes the skin easy to remove. The nuts then need to be squeezed with absorbent paper to remove any excess water before being roasted.
