Let’s take it back to the Stone Age by using a mortar and pestle to turn garlic, nuts and herbs into pastes and powders to make delicious sauces and teas. Smashing ingredients instead of mincing them very finely with a food processor or blender will release flavours in an incomparable way. This model by Le Creuset features a smooth stoneware interior that will make sure your ingredients don’t cling to its sides as you make your pesto or curry from scratch.
