I’ve heard about it in the past few years and apparently it’s been kind of the hot ingredient in the culinary world. Picked some up today at an Asian grocery but really know nothing about it.

I mean it’s not like it’s going to go bad any time soon.

I like to add a few cloves to some pico de gallo and cook that down a bit. I serve that mixture on top of chorizo tacos when I make them. Also, black garlic pesto is seriously good. Here is the Pesto I made tossed with some angel hair pasta.

Black garlic is regular garlic that has been fermented for a month. Sweeter jelly like texture.

It's not going to be a life changer for ya fella.

I make it. It's good and easy to do.

Rice cooker that stays on warm when plugged in
Turkey/oven bag
Whole heads of garlic

An area (outdoor shed) to plug in and let it sit for @ 4 weeks. Smell is strong when cooking.

Use plastic steamer insert or something to keep garlic from touching bottom.

Put bag in cooker, stack garlic in bag until full but lid closes shut or sits on tight.

Plug in

In two weeks in go turn bag over.
Two weeks later, check and see if garlic has turned black (not dark brown).

If black, take out and peel. If not, let it go some more.

I keep in container in fridge, freeze some, give some away.

Thanks. Not looking for Jesus in a clove of garlic, just like cooking with ingredients that are new to me.

I make a compound butter with a stick of Kerry Gold, kosher salt and about 3-5 toes of the black garlic and keep it in the fridge. Has an intense beef flavor that umami's the hell outta red meat and vegetables.
