Spanish term or phrase: ajo mortero
Is this the same as "ajo arriero"? And what do we call it in English?

ajo mortero/atascaburras (traditional garlic and potato puré prepared in a mortar)
Explanation:
"El Atascaburras (a veces denominado como ajo mortero) es un plato manchego típico del invierno albaceteño, preferentemente cuando nieva. Es un plato tradicional de lugares fríos y que se suele comer cuando caen las primeras nieves de invierno, incluso se dice que para que salga bien bueno, debe usarse nieve derretida para cocerlo. Las exquisitas y pequeñas nueces de la sierra se añaden para adornar y completar un plato nutritivo. Dicen los lugareños que como casi todos los platos de campo, es mejor no usar platos y comer directamente del mortero."

There seem to be many varieties of this dish, sometimes with cod, breadcrumbs and walnuts.

You don't mention what you need the translation for - is it a menu where space is limited?

Hi neilmac.
I know it's preferable to use equivalents if we have them, but I really don't think we have one for this! Perhaps best to check with the client exactly what they put in this dish as there seem to be a whole load of different versions. It's certainly not just a bowl of crushed garlic though - that would certainly keep the vampires away, and probably everyone else!
Good luck!

agree  Kate Major: hey, rebecca, yeah- sounds like it's a "plato" so I have to agree with your translation there! Just thought crushed garlic sounded the most natural...

  -> Thanks, Kate. "Crushed garlic" would definitely be the term to use if that was all this was, but if someone served me up a plate of that I wouldn't be too happy! Saludos.
