Mortars have a long tradition in the kitchen. And for good reason. They make it easy to crush herbs and spices and release their full flavour. Küchenprofi mortars are attractive and functional. They are ideal for preparing spice mixes, crusts for meat and pesto. Those who prefer a sweet flavour can grind the finest icing sugar. One model is made of porcelain, the other of marble. Both materials are non-abrasive, neutral in flavour and easy to clean. The porcelain mortar can even be put in the dishwasher. The pestles sit comfortably in the hand and their ends are roughened to make it easier to crush spices, herbs, peppercorns or nuts. Speaking of nuts: Why not top your fillet with a crust of pitted olives, capers, oregano, paprika and macadamia nuts? The ingredients are first placed in the mortar and then on the meat, which has previously been seared and coated with mustard. Then braise in the oven and enjoy.
