Gamasio is the name for a delicious toasted sesame seed/salt mixture. It
is used as a condiment on rice, salads, baked potaotes, etc.. To prepare,
simply toast 1/2 cup hulled sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat,
stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes. They will burn quickly if not attended
to constantly. As soon as they begin to brown, transfer them to another
container and cool. Put into a blender or mini-grinder, add 1/2 teaspoon of
sea salt and pulse/grind a 3-4 seconds. There should be some whole seeds
remaining. Store in an air-tight container and add a teaspoon or so at the
table as a garnish on rice.
