 4 cloves black garlic peeled
9 oz milk 9 oz cream pinch salt 1 vanilla pod 3 eggs 4 oz sugar plus 2 tsp for black garlic 4 bread rolls 2 oz butter, soft 4 tbs apricot jam icing sugar Put the black garlic through a press and mix lightly with 2 tsp of sugar to keep it separated. Bring the milk, cream, salt and vanilla pod to a simmer and infuse for half an hour. Mix the eggs and the 4 oz of sugar together and add the cream milk mixture. Cut the rolls into slices, butter and tear into a buttered oven proof dish along with the black garlic. Pour the milk over and bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes, coating the top with apricot jam for the last 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes before dusting lightly with the icing sugar. Serve this warm or cold. This is a recipe from an old friend in Wales. It is very old fashioned and totally delicious. I always serve it at the table because it looks so attractive in the dish.

 I have tried making these with mini pitta breads but, believe it or not, the baguette is tastier.
1 large baguette, sliced into rounds 1 small tin pizza sauce 4 peeled cloves of black garlic Shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese Mash the black garlic and mix it with the pizza sauce. Let marinate for a couple of hours if you have the time. Spread it on the bread rounds, cover with the cheese and bake in a 400 degree oven For 10 minutes. The black garlic flavour is not recognizable, but makes it interesting. This was the most popular canape at my last party. It is simple and easy to prepare well ahead of time.  Hi all, Here is a recipe that is getting rave reviews from my family. It is for a quick bread that is both healthy and delicious. It is really good with coffee in the morning and I like to toast it to bring out the flavours even more. Also good as dessert served with applesauce. Apple Cinnamon Black Garlic Bread 11/4 cup applesauce 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup oil 2 eggs 3tbs. milk 2 cups flour 1tsp.baking soda 1/2tsp. baking powder 1/2tsp. cinnamon 1/4tsp. allspice 1/4tsp. salt ½ cup chopped nuts 1 clove black garlic, peeled and chopped (if sticky add a little flour while chopping) Grease or spray with cooking spray a 9 by 5 loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350. I always sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and salt just to be sure it is well distributed. Whisk together the applesauce, sugar, eggs, oil and milk. Mix in the dry ingredients and then fold in the nuts and the black garlic. Cook for 60 minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness. Cool on a rack before slicing.  Hi All,
We have just finished harvesting this year's crop of garlic and there are several kinds to experiment with in the making of black garlic, including: Marino, French Rocambole, Chesnok Red, German White and Music. So far we are leaning towards Rocambole. We are also launching our Salted Garlic Scapes at many of the outlets, starting next week. I have posted a couple of scape recipes to give you and idea as to how to incorporate them into your cooking. The taste is a milder garlic flavour with a fresh herb overtone. It is so convenient to use, just open the lid and dig in with a spoon....No breaking out a clove, peeling and pressing and then, of course, cleaning the garlic press after. One generous teaspoon equals a clove of garlic. Give it a try. CC If you’ve ever wondered what umami tastes like, this recipe is a perfect introduction Toronto Star, 17 Jan 2018 CYNTHIA DAVID SPECIAL TO THE STAR MARK GILLOW/GARLIC CLUBB  These are dark days in the food world. Along with last year’s top trend, activated charcoal, Google searches for black garlic are trending upward as more and more chefs and foodies seek out the savoury licorice, balsamic vinegar and molasses notes of these jet-black cloves. Without garlic’s usual pungent bite and a chewy texture like dried apricots, black garlic is simply a fresh garlic bulb heated at low temperatures with controlled humidity for 10 to 40 days until caramelized. The resulting black cloves add the rich taste of umami to any dish, from appetizers to dessert. “Customers are surprised to learn that its unique colour, taste and texture are accomplished without any additives,” says Sabrina Mcmanus, senior director of Loblaw brands. Loblaws has seen double-digit growth in the past two years on its 30-gram jars of peeled black cloves from Spain. “More high-end chefs are using it,” says Lino Vittorio of Johnvince Foods, which sells pouches of black garlic from South Korea, “but I don’t think it will ever be a mainstream item.” Depending on who you believe, black garlic is either a 4,000-year-old Asian tradition or a specialty product with no ancient lineage introduced in 2008 by a Korean-born entrepreneur in California. Producers claim it’s more easily digested than fresh and that garlic’s antioxidant level more than doubles when heated — some call it fermented — making it popular as a health supplement. While most black garlic sold locally hails from Korea, China or California, investment banker turned garlic grower Jimmy Clubb is one of a handful of producers creating black garlic closer to home in Quebec. I found his distinctive Garlic Clubb boxes at Toronto’s Harvest Wagon among jars of black garlic paste. The papery skin of the individual bulbs looks pretty dry and beaten-up after being heated for a month. Clubb, who pops a clove a day for health reasons, advises first-timers to start slowly and add a clove or two at a time, finely chopped or mashed, to a dish. “Black garlic is meant as a background flavour to add depth to your cooking,” he said. “It’s not meant to stand out or overpower a dish.” For a sweet taste sensation, he recommends slipping a few minced cloves into chocolate cake batter. “With more chefs involved and enthusiastic foodies willing to try new things, I think black garlic has real momentum behind it,” he says. And it won’t leave you with garlic breath. Buy and store Look for black garlic in Asian, specialty and independent supermarkets. Loblaws sells it in the spice section. Keep in a cool, dry place or refrigerate in a resealable bag for up to two years. Prep If you buy whole bulbs, separate cloves and discard papery coating. To release flavour, knead, mash or finely chop peeled black clove. Dissolve in hot water or mix well with hot butter or oil. Jimmy Clubb recommends Home Hardware’s Kuraidori garlic slicer and Dreamfarm’s Garject garlic press to break up black garlic easily. For a garlicky flavour, add fresh garlic cloves along with black cloves. Use in any recipe that calls for roasted garlic. DIY The simplest DIY method online uses a rice cooker on the keep-warm setting. Place a mat in the cooker, cover with a paper towel, add dry, clean garlic bulbs and cover with a second paper towel. Close lid and let sit 10 to 14 days until black and tender, checking occasionally. Serve Add slivers to scrambled eggs, sautéed green beans, spaghetti aglio olio or pizza. Finely slice and add to sautéed onions when making risotto. Add finely chopped black garlic to warmed butter and pour over steamed asparagus. Sauté mushrooms with slivers of black garlic. Slip a few mashed cloves into bean or vegetable soup or add to beef stew. Add paste to mayonnaise, cream cheese or goat cheese. Add a little mashed black garlic to barbecue or spaghetti sauce. Mash with butter and rub under the skin of a whole chicken before roasting. Chop and add to a garlic-breadcrumb crust for a rack of lamb. Spread toasted baguette slices with mashed cloves or top with tomato salsa infused with chopped black garlic. Finely chop and add to chocolate brownie or cake batter before baking.

BY AMIEL STANEK Bon Appétit (January 25, 2016)  TED CAVANAUGH Sure, it might look like garlic gone bad, but really it’s an ingredient we’re seeing at restaurants across the country. Black garlic is made when heads of (regular ol’) garlic are aged under specialized conditions until the cloves turn inky black and develop a sticky date-like texture. And the taste? Out of this world. Sweet, earthy, minus the allium’s characteristic heat—think of it as garlic’s umami-packed shadow. For in-the-know chefs, it’s the shortcut to adding intense “what is that?” flavor to everything from mayo to steak. “Nothing compares to black garlic," says Sarah Rich, the co-chef of Rich Table in San Francisco. "The way it’s aged brings out so many rich subtleties. It’s thrilling to taste something so completely unique.” 1. What Is Black Garlic Anyway? How does garlic become something so different? When bulbs are kept for weeks at low temperatures in a humid environment, the enzymes that give fresh garlic its sharpness break down. Those conditions also facilitate the Maillard reaction, the chemical process that produces wild new flavor compounds responsible for the deep taste of seared meat and fried onions.  TED CAVANAUGH What does it taste like? Aged balsamic, prune, licorice, molasses, caramel, tamarind. 2. How to Make It Every nerdy chef worth his hand-harvested sea salt is experimenting with making the stuff in-house (including BA test kitchen manager Brad Leone). The trick? A rice cooker. The “warm” setting creates the right environment for transforming heads of garlic into black gold (assuming you have a few weeks to spare). 3. How to Use It •Use the cloves as you would roasted garlic: Purée them with oil, then smear the paste on crostini, incorporate it into dressings, or rub it onto chicken or fish before roasting. •Powdered, it’s like umami fairy dust: Sprinkle it on anything that wants some earthiness and depth.

Where to Buy It Black garlic is available in a number of forms — from whole heads to peeled cloves to a dehydrated powder — at specialty spice shops, some Whole Foods markets, and online at The Garlic Clubb. https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/how-to/article/black-garlic?mbid=social_facebook |
