This is a useful way of reducing salt intake as well as adding savory flavor. I love it sprinkled over steamed vegetables. * 3 tablespoons tan or black sesame seeds * 1 teaspoon sea salt At a 10 to 1 ratio, put sesame seeds and salt on a small, heavy, dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant, and a seed or 2 start to " pop " . Remove from heat and grind to a fairly fine powder. Store in an airtight jar. GOMASIO CONDIMENT * 1 teaspoon sea salt * 15 teaspoons unhulled sesame seeds Dry roast the sea salt and finely grind in a surabachi (mortar). Wash the sesame seeds and remove any stones. Then dry roast the seeds until they turn golden and give off a pleasant smell. Add to salt and gently grind with wooden pestle using circular movements until about 80% of the seeds are crushed. Store in an airtight jar. Gomasio can be used daily as a condiment sprinkled on all meals. It is an ideal way to get salt into the body without causing excessive thirst as the oil from the crushed sesame seeds coats the salt. It also relieves tiredness by neutralizing acidity in the blood and strengthening the nervous system.
