Black garlic

[Lisasbolt]

They sell it in Lidl but i have not tried it as it looks like it has been burnt and garlic is horrible when burnt. Still do not think i will try it.

Id end up thinking its off haha.

I will prob try it to see what it taste like. I love eating garlic

I've seen it on the telly, never seen it in real life. Its supposed to be good stuff though (or so the telly people tell me)

Anyone tried black garlic?

Just watching Escape to the Country where a farmer has perfected a way of storing garlic for a year. Some form of heat and air used I think but the garlic turns black and tastes like licorice/balsamic vinegar. Would love to try that! (Eating it I mean)

Is that the same as smoked garlic?

I wouldn't smoke it....

It's lovely stuff. Does taste like balsamic vinegar with a bit of licorice thrown in. I bought some last year from The Garlic Farm (Isle of Wight) and have used it every so often to pep up a pasta sauce.

I watched that too. This is the farm they visited:
British Black Garlic - South West Garlic Farm

Thanks for the link Wendy...I'm sorely tempted to purchase some!

BUY IT!

I'm a garlic nut, goes in everything that I cook. Tried black garlic for the first time over Christmas, and I liked it. So far it's worked well in a slow cooked beef and mushroom stew, and it was great chopped finely and added to olive oil for my roast carrots.
