Gomasio

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Course: Condiment

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. thin Atlantic/rock salt Vata - Pitta - - Kapha ++
  • 18 tsp. brown/black sesame Vata - Pitta - - Kapha ++
  • A mortar and a pestle

Instructions

  • In a heavy iron skillet, roast the salt on a medium flame, for 3-5 minutes.
  • Close the flame and place the warm salt in the mortar.
  • In the same manner, roast the 18 tsp. of sesame, until a roasted scent is noticeable, the sesame pops or the sesame is easily crushed between the fingers.
  • Avoid over roasting so the quality and taste of the sesame won’t be diminished.
  • Add the roasted sesame to the salt in the mortar and grind in circular movements until the salt is fully absorbed in the sesame and 50% of the sesame seeds are ground.
  • Cool and store in a glass jar.

Notes

Optional additions:
For children the recommended salt-sesame ratio is 1:20 up to 1:24.
For Vata: in cases of dryness it’s possible to cover the ready Gomasio mixture with olive or sesame oil.
