Gomasio
Gomasio is one of our family favorites. This highly nutritious Asian sesame seed condiment is full of calcium and super tasty. In the photo above, my older son is stirring up a double batch for the family. Below, we have transfered the seeds to a suribachi and prepare to take turns grinding.
2 cups sesame seeds
1 tablespoon celtic sea salt
- Place sesame seeds in a cast iron skillet over medium heat
- Roast for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until seeds turn golden brown
- Place sesame seeds and salt in a suribachi
or mortar and pestle and grind them into a coarse meal
- When cooled, transfer to a glass container
- Serve by sprinkling over kale, broccoli or other greens
Store in refrigerator; keeps for 6-8 weeks

I wonder if gomasio is more nutritious than Quinoa, because that is what I have been using lately.
We love this. We sprinkle it on our salads and side dishes. It makes a huge difference in taste and so good for you.
