Mortar and Pestle Recipes?
 

I bought a marble mortar and pestle not too long ago and was pretty
darn happy about it. However, I have been unsuccessful in finding any
recipes on the internet for it. Aside from pesto, does anyone have any
recipes that require the use of a mortar and pestle. And when I say
require, I mean to find it useful.

It's used to hand-grind whole dried spices, not for specific recipes, per
se.

When I make rye bread, I grind the anise with mortar and pestle.

French version of peppercorn steak requires cracked peppercorns placed in
grooves cut in the steak (preferrably green peppercorn). Use a mortar to
crack the peppercorns.

Some salad dressings require garlic to be made into a pasted with salt.
Use your mortar.

Some chinese and some mexican recipes require spice mixes that can be
made in a mortar. In that you toast the spices then grind them into a
blended powder.

Use the mortar and pestle to "wake up" the flavor in all of your dried
herbs.

Any of your recipes that call for "crushed" garlic will taste much better
if you don't use one of those awful garlic crusher thingies but instead
mince the garlic and then mash it in the mortar. You get much more garlic
flavor that way.

Get some whole dried herbs for cooking and use it to grind them.
Useful especially for grinding things like Caraway and Fennel seed.

Won't that stain the marble?

Don't marble mortars have specific uses?

I've found that no matter *how* long you cook the things, they never get
tender.

The marble pestle could be used as a substitute for more traditional
methods when making galah stew:

Place a plucked and cleaned galah in a large pot and cover with your
favourite stock. (Chicken or vegetable stock would probably be best.)

Bring the brew to a slow boil then:

Add a roughly chopped large onion.

Use the mortar and pestle to crush two fat cloves of garlic and
add that to the brew too. (Use the pestle to scrape the crushed garlic
into the pot and leave it there for later.)

Add other vegetables of choice (I like carrot, parsnip, turnip, spuds)
all roughly chopped.

Bring back to slow boil; reduce heat to a very low simmer then cover
the pot to reduce evaporation and go away for a long weekend.

On your return, test the pestle. If it's soft, add salt and
pepper to taste, chuck out the galah, and eat the pestle.

Cheers, Phred.

If you had bought a new chef's knife would you be asking about "knife
recipes?"

Why did you buy it if you did not have uses in mind?

A M&P is a general purpose tool. I use it to make coarsely crushed black
pepper, to grind various spices, and to pulverize garlic cloves.

I am in the same situation. I just got a new mortar and pestle and I
think I might make some aioli in it, instead of my usual method (food
processor. I have heard that aioli made this way is truly unctous,
and wonderful.

Pesto might come after that..or a curry paste of some sort. I have
this new book called Cradle of Flavor which is mainly Malaysian
cooking. Lots and lots of curry pastes!!!

Food processors are cool, but there is something soul satisfying about
doing stuff the "old fashioned" way and hand-grinding it.

And I think it releases more esters.

I was thinking making small batches of the next late & great BBQ rub.

It would be easy to grind up a base blend, then shake it all out equally
onto paper plates, then add back a plate at a time and grind in various
different spices per plate.

And, If you feel like it, add a liquid base to your rubs and you've got a
marinade or BBQ sauce, depending.

Then, try them on beef, chicken, pork and fish, cook it up and decide.

As Om said, it would be good for the soul and the bank account when you
turn it loose on consumers at Trader Joe's or somewhere. ;)

As well as being just plain fun. :-)

If cooking loses the fun factor, it loses a LOT!!!

It's why I keep making Calves Foot Jelly for dad.
He loves it so and it's just complicated enough to make it fun without

<lol> Powdering pills for the pets is still a good use!

Seriously tho', clean it well and try powdering dried herbs for specific
recipes. I find I can get a better powder with that one compared to
others.

As long as all you need is a small volume. The finer the powder, the
more intense the flavor.

You are so right. Unfortunately, there are some people who are so
