Mortars have a tradition in the kitchen for good reason. They allow you to easily crush herbs and spices, bringing out their full aroma. The mortars from Küchenprofi are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. They are perfect for preparing spice blends, crusts for meat, and pesto. For those who prefer something sweet, you can grind fine powdered sugar. One model is made of porcelain, while the other is made of marble. Both materials are non-abrasive, flavor-neutral, and easy to clean. The porcelain mortar is even dishwasher safe. The pestles fit comfortably in your hand, and their ends are textured to make crushing spices, herbs, peppercorns, or nuts easier. Speaking of nuts: why not top your filet with a crust made from pitted olives, capers, oregano, paprika, and macadamia nuts? The ingredients go into the mortar first and then onto the meat, which has been seared and brushed with mustard beforehand. Then, continue cooking in the oven.
