  1. Toast seeds in a frying pan over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes stirring non-stop, until lightly browned.

  2. Transfer the hot seeds to a bowl and mix well with tahini, stirring well to coat all seeds. Spread seeds out in a single layer and cool to room temperature.

  3. While cooling, combine juice and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.

  4. Put seeds in food processor or hand held blender along with the juice mixture, soy sauce, celery, minced onion and water, blend until the mixture is fairly fine. Cover and refrigerate if not using the spread within 15 minutes. If spread firms up mix in a tablespoon of water.
