Black Garlic Aioli
This ain’t my first aioli recipe and I’m pretty confident this black garlic aioli won’t be the last either!!  It's a great and simple way to make a sauce to go with many dishes and tastes simple amazing too.  Try this with some perfectly cooked eye fillet and tell me it ain't a winner.

WHAT IS BLACK GARLIC?

It’s garlic that’s black - duh!!! Ok ok, aside from the obvious black garlic is simply fermented garlic. It starts off like regular garlic, white in colour and during the fermenting process it becomes this beautiful velvety black colour.  How does it taste you ask?  To me it’s got this amazing umami flavour.  A caramelised taste, balsamic and molasses.  It’s been likened to eating black jellybeans in texture.  Unlike white garlic you can eat it raw without warning off every vampire in a 100 mile radius.  It’s almost sweet in taste but kinda like aging cheese.  I know, I know your mind is doing cartwheels and somersaults at the same time wondering about it 😉 So better read on to see how easy it is to make black garlic aioli.

CAN YOU MAKE BLACK GARLIC AT HOME?

It’s a bit of a process!  Not because it’s hard to make but it takes time and patience.  Nowadays it’s available in many grocery stores or markets but it’s fairly pricey.  If you own a rice cooker with a “keep warm” function you are in luck because a) you can now make black garlic and b) sell it to your mates to cover your costs 😉 or c) be a good friend and share your wealth!!

Simply put to make it yourself all you need to do is place garlic inside a rice cooker and leave it alone for 10 days to 3 weeks.  I did mention patience didn’t I?  Leave the rice cooker on warm, place the date you put it in and then leave it alone.

Downsides of making it yourself

  • your house will STINK of garlic
  • do you really wanna have your rice cooker on for that long

And that’s why I leave it to the professionals!!!  Aside from this black garlic aioli recipe here are others on my site that may provide you with some inspo

Tips/Tricks

  • i used 2 egg yolks in this recipe but you can just use 1 if you prefer. Using 2 yolks will give you a thicker aioli so it depends upon the texture/application you are looking for. For example with chips I use 1 yolk but as a sauce with steak I use 2 yolks.

        I am super excited to make your black garlic aioli. Tell me, where do you find squid ink and is it required. I’ll update you when it’s done. Yay! Something new again!

          It adds a richer flavour and also darkens the colour of the aioli so I feel it is necessary. You can find it in most good grocery stores and/or fishmongers
