Crunchy sesame salt

At my last visit at my bf's family in Styria I tasted sesame salt for the first time and immediately fell in love with it. It's crunchy and tastes great with salad or other vegetable dishes plus it is super easy to make. You'll only need two ingrediants (sesame and salt), a pan and an immersion blender.

This is how it works:

1) Put the sesame into a hot, dry pan and roast it under constant stirring for 2 to 3 minutes (when the sesame seeds start to jump you'll know that the pan is hot enough). Then the sesame will be crunchy and have a smoky aroma.

2) Put the roasted sesame into a bowl and add salt as you wish (do not add too much salt at once!).

3) Now mix the sesame and the salt with the immersion blender (personally I prefer the sesame salt not to be too fine, so that you can still taste the sesame seeds).

4) Ready!

By the way: With a small piece of fabric and nice gift ribbon the sesame salt glasses also make for a good small present.
