Curing and Using a Molcajete

A salsa or guacamole made in a blender or food processor will never replace the velvety, chunky texture of a salsa made in a molcajete. It is Mexico’s premiere pre-Hispanic piece of cooking equipment that hasn’t changed for thousands of years. To make a salsa, add the ingredients and use the tejolote (the smaller stone to grind and mash things) to mash until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
