2. Put a handful of
uncooked rice in the molcajete. Use the tejolote ( the pestle) and grind
the rice into the surface of the molcajete (bowl). Discard the pulverized
rice. Repeat the process until the pulverized rice is white, rather than
gray or ash colored.
3. Add 4 cloves of garlic
(peeled), 1 teaspoon of cumin (comino) and 1 teaspoon salt, kosher is good, and
a teaspoon of pepper. Grind the mixture evenly around the interior of the
molcajete. Remove and discard the mixture. Rinse the molcajete and
tejolote with clear water and allow to dry before storing. Note that these
ingredients and quantities can be adjusted to your liking and for the size of
your molcajete.
