Footnotes:
[1] Grind the fennel seeds using a clean, dry mortar and pestle. Use the pestle to grind the seeds into a fine powder, applying gentle but firm pressure to release the oils and flavors. You can also use an electric coffee or spice grinder for this purpose.
[2] Crushing the dried rosemary will break it up to release the aromatic oils and flavors of this dried herb, making it perfect for further cooking and seasoning. Start by placing the dried leaves in a clean, dry mortar and pestle. As you did above, apply gentle but firm pressure to lightly crush and break up the leaves. You can also use an electric coffee or spice grinder. Pulse the rosemary in the grinder until the leaves are evenly textured, rather than letting it run continuously to avoid turning it into a fine powder.
Alternatively, you could crush the dried rosemary leaves using a plastic zipper bag and a rolling pin. Place the dried rosemary in the bag, flatten it to remove as much air as possible, zip the bag closed, and roll the rolling pin over it several times until you achieve the desired texture.
