I am interested in using up my bread flour and decided to use black sesame paste for a change instead of red bean. This site http://japanesefood.about.com/od/saucecondiment/r/Black-Sesame-Paste.htm gas a great recipe and also explains the difference between Asian (Japanese/Chinese) black sesame paste and black tahini. The Asian version uses roasted seeds and emulsifies using its own oil and adds sugar (either as sugar or honey) but the tahani uses oil to emulsify.
Ingredients
1/2 cup black sesames
3 tbsp honey (if you prefer it sweeter, use 4 tbsp which also makes it less dry and easier to handle)
Method
1) Roast the black sesame seeds in a pan. Swirl them around and watch carefully because they burn easily. Set aside and let it cool.
2) In a food processor that is able to cut very finely (not all models do, you'll have to test), add the sesame seeds and pulse till it becomes very finely ground. The oil should secrete but it takes some time.
3) Once you're happy with the consistency, add the honey.
4) Use within the day or store in an air tight container and use within 2 days.
