Black Garlic

[AiiR]

Just tried this curious ingredient for the first time this week, absolutely incredible flavour. Made it into a butter on a medium rare ribeye steak and I couldn't believe I'd not used it before.

Anyone else tried it?

No but I will be now!

It's great for adding a bit of umami, I chuck it in lots of stuff, chillis, stews etc.

It's alright, but not amazing enough that I buy it regularly.
Black smoked is pretty good and slightly sweeter than normal black. But really, I just prefer normal garlic.

My mum used it in a recipe a while back. It does add quite a lot of richness and flavour.

Tried it once after hearing about it enough times and remembering it in a supermarket.

It's nice and I see the value. But after it was gone (still remember peeling those sticky cloves) I forgot all about it and have only bought regular garlic.

Yeah I wouldn't call it a kitchen staple, more for special occasions.
