Granite mortar

You know why every nonna you see online makes pesto in a mortar? Because it comes out better than in a blender. The blade heats and bruises; the stone crushes and releases. The same is true for anything you would put in a blender and should not: spice pastes, curry pastes, garlic, nuts.

If you want your herbs and spices to keep their taste, aroma and a bit of texture, go for the mortar.

The LADJA team uses it for:

  • Pesto, the way it is meant to be
  • Curry pastes and spice blends, crushed not powdered
  • Garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt
  • Skordalia and aioli, by hand

Details:

  • Material: granite
  • Size: 15 x 15 x 14 cm
  • Weight: 2.1 kg

10 simple tools for homecooks who take dinner too seriously. GNs to perfect your prep. Chef’s press for that perfect crust. High quality pan to build flavor. Measuring cup to measure liquids, duh. Mixing bowl set cause they ‘re never enough. Offset spatula for turning things and plating. Wire rack. Can’t explain in words how important this is. Cheese cloth if you are a perfectionist. Microplane, the best zester out there. Metal dough scraper to protect your knife from dragging it on the cutting board when you pick up your diced veggies. Save this for your next “ok, what do I actually need in my kitchen?” moment.
Bisque-glazed shrimp, vegan mayo, crispy tuile. From a test event we did a while ago. Equipment used in order of appearance: - stock pot - ladle - chinois - mixing bowl - sauce pot - carbon steel pan - brush - microplane zester - measuring cup - non-stick pan - tweezers - kiritsuke knife - gastronorms (inox and PC) As for a recipe, below is some guidance: Clean the shrimp. Use the heads to make a bisque and play around with the flavour a bit. Once the bisque is ready, turn it into a glaze: put it in a heavy-bottomed sauce pot, reduce it fiercely, then add butter, lime juice and lime zest. Make a vegan mayo. Again, use your creativity to go further. Sauté the shrimp and glaze them with the reduced bisque. Make a crispy tuile if you want some crispiness – it helps with plating as well. Add something green on top for freshness. Finally, add a bit more of the reduced bisque on top. #ladjagr #homechef #homecook #homecooking
Give your food a life extension. Use a vacuum sealer and see how your food – from aromatics to super delicate fish – stays fresh for a really long time. By vacuum sealing, you cut down the oxygen around your food — and oxygen is one of the main drivers of spoilage and rancid flavours. Make this small investment and stop throwing food (and money) in the bin. Also, stay tuned – we’ll soon show you a hack for scrambled eggs in a vacuum bag. And when we say “perfect”, we really mean it. #ladjagr #homechef #homecook #cooking
