This is a must have for every cook! The grinding action used will release natural oils in herbs and toasted whole spices. Great for making Pesto's, Guacamole, and Salsa's! Try it for making paste's and rubs for the next BBQ! Amazon has a huge variety if you prefer shopping online. You can also find them at almost any store now such as Target, Kohl's, Wal-Mart etc. A purchase you won't regret!
Pesto Recipe
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 2 Cups Fresh Basil Leaves - Very easy to grow!
- 3 Tbs Pine Nuts
- 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( I use Colavita)
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese - I recommend buying Parmigiano-Regiano. It costs more but you can use less as flavor is much more intense.
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Start by adding basil, garlic, salt, and pine nuts to the mortar and grinding them to a paste. Pound in the cheese. Finally whisk in the oil until you have the desired consistency.
