The mortar and pestle are ancient tools that no modern kitchen should be
without--they're handy for everything from cracking peppercorns and
bruising fresh herbs to making sauces such as pesto, as well as
marinades, spice pastes, and dry rubs. This book brings you an array of
enticing recipes from around the world, all of which employ a mortar and
pestle to bring creative seasoning and exciting new techniques to your
home cooking. Beef can be made mouth-watering when prepared with an
African Smoke Rub. Options for Lamb include a Pomegranate and Harissa
seasoning, while, in the Poultry chapter, choose Jamaican Jerk Chicken
or Portuguese Piri Piri Poussin. For those who love a lighter option and
the enticing aroma of grilled Fish, try Spiced Red Snapper with
Chermoula or Grilled Lobsters with flavoured butters. Vegetarian ideas
include Grilled Courgette Flowers with Shiso Lemon Salt and Roasted
Cauliflower with Walnut Romesco.
