I just bought a marble mortar & pestle for a great price. What sorts of things do you use yours for? I'd love some ideas.
I put a clove of garlic with some salt into the mortar, and mush the garlic to a paste. I generally use that paste in a tomato salad--chopped tomatoes, a slosh of cider or wine vinegar, and 2 sloshes of olive oil. Let it sit for an hour or so at room temp before serving.
Really about the only thing I use mine for.
