This episode of Culinary For Cool People covers the historical and cultural varieties of Mortar and Pestle systems, along with what it can be used for and why to use it. A brief lesson in the biology of a cell and why you’d want to smash it rather than trying to slice or grind it, along with a review of more modern scientific tools and methods of pulverizing flavors for maximum effect. Our pollo asado inspired recipe is provided, along with the process of making it with a mortar and pestle, and application of it on a deliciously smoked pork loin. Enjoy!
