THE MEXICAN GRIDDLE
I'm pretty sure this smooth-flat griddle is present in every household in Mexico and used on a daily basis; its origin dates back to the pre-Columbian era, it's main uses: cooking tortillas, toasting chiles, spices and coffee & cocoa beans as well as roasting vegetables.
The comal was originally made of clay and passed on through generations, the modern times have seen it evolve into iron and designed to fit on a stove top instead of an open wood fire.
MEZQUITE's Salsa Molcajeteada calls for comal-roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, serranos, onions and garlic.
