Yes. It works pretty good.
Yes. What kind are you making?
GENOVESE PESTO
1/4 lb basil
3 cloves garlic
salt, to taste
1 scant cup Pecorino or Romano cheese
1/2 cup good quality olive oil
2 tablespoons hot water
Harvest basil on a dry, sunny day.
Clean the basil with a clean cloth or paper towel and pick over to remove bruised leaves and stems.
In a mortar and pestle, pound leaves, a few at a time, adding garlic and coarse sea salt or kosher salt, until a smooth paste is obtained.
Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Taste, and adjust seasonings.

Before food processors, blenders ( circa. 1950s, Waring ), were used. The processor is more efficient, requires less liquid.
