Black Garlic

[YourRabbitGirl]

Almost complete yesterday took the garlic out of rice cooker after 9 days on warm. I had the rice cooker in my detached garage during fermentation, the garlic smell gets very very very strong. For maximum flavor I've read to air dry for another 7 days ( my next step ) . When complete you can store them in mason jars for 6 mths in fridge. I've read that black garlic is a great anti oxidant. Black Garlic has a smokey molasses kind of taste.

actually created garlic chile oil using these black garlic, I removed them from the skin and blended them with local chilis, Its very hot with the garlic taste. It's good with chicken and pork chops

Can we add this to normal cooking where we use normal garlic? the way we made this looks very interesting.. it seems that you released its hidden potential.

That looks and sounds very interesting. How would you use it though? Add it to meals as you would normal garlic?

Did the exact thing. ate it with porkchops sliced tomatoes and chilies. lunch feels very healthy.. you really got to try this.

I used it in my grilled pork. That was extremely satisfying... I would never go back to normal garlic ever again.. That is the most exquisite dinner I've ever served... Thank you for the Idea...

Sumi my DW loves it in salads it has a sweet taste it doesn't taste like traditional garlic at all.
There are many recipes on line here is just a sample http://blackgarlic.com/category/category/recipes.
The thing that intrigues me about black garlic is the health benefits. Ive read that helps fight cancer to regulate blood sugar and thinning hair to ED now im not sure all that's true however it does have twice the antioxidants of white garlic and more allicin.

Tried it in my vegetable salad, and It really adds that difference.. It is sweet and not really garlicky... but it adds compliment.. Very nice.

i wonder how the flavor compares to fermented black beans i've had in some recipes. i like them, but don't use them very often as i'm the only one here who'd eat them. i'm still working my way through the container of green chili paste i bought about 7yrs ago... getting there - one cup of hot chocolate at a time...

the molasses back taste, Actually compliments it. Have you tried this on grilled fish. Its the best with onion and apple cider vinegar.

You might be my new hero!! I can't get garlic to grow for me...

That's a lot of garlic... I hope we can harvest that much garlic in our farms. the largest count that we harvested was just around 150 heads.
