BLACK GARLIC
Black garlic has been around for many, many years. It is regular garlic that has been fermented. It is soft and savory yet very sweet. It is high in antioxidants and has many health benefits. It is used in both sweet and savory dishes and absolutely delicious eaten on its own. I prefer to use the solo garlic bulbs (aka single clove garlic which are easily found in most Asian markets), but regular garlic can also be used.

Steps:
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and half of the finely chopped onion. Saute 3 minutes, then season with 2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball the measurement in the palm of your hand, and the thyme leaves. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and raise heat to bring to a boil. Add rice and lower heat to simmer when boil resumes. Cover pot tightly. After 12 minutes, stir in black beans and replace cover. Cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off rice and beans, season with salt and stir to combine then let stand until ready to serve. While rice cooks, make plantains with shrimp and the meat.
- Preheat a grill pan over high heat. The meat can also be prepared in a hot, large cast iron or nonstick skillet if you do not have a grill pan.
- Place flank steak in a shallow dish and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to coat ¿ about 2 tablespoons. Mix grill seasoning with 1 tablespoon cumin, eyeball the measurement in your palm. Add the zest of 1 lime to the grill seasoning and cumin. Rub the mixture over the steak evenly. Wash up and cut lime into wedges and reserve. Place the steak on hot grill or in hot pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let juices redistribute 5 minutes.
- Slit the skins of the plantains from end to end to vent them for microwave cooking. Wrap them each in wax paper, twisting up paper at ends. Microwave the plantains 4 to 5 minutes together or 90 seconds each individually on high.
- While plantains and steak cook, place a medium nonstick skillet on the heat over a high flame. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and the sliced onions. Sear the onions up and heat through, but leave a bite to them. Place on a platter and cover with foil to reserve heat. Return pan to stove and reduce heat to between medium high and medium. Add 2 tablespoons extra, 2 turns of the pan, and the remaining finely chopped onion, the bell pepper, garlic and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and add the zest of 1 lemon. Cook until shrimp are firm and peppers begin to soften, 4 minutes or so. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, the tomato sauce and parsley. Turn off heat.
- Peel and mash the steaming hot plantains with remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the plantains with salt and pile on platter or dinner plates then top with garlicky shrimp and tomatoes. Very thinly slice the cooked steak on an angle, working against the grain. Squeeze lime juice over the meat and arrange over the cooked sliced onions on serving platter. Fluff up rice and black beans a bit, transfer them to a bowl and pass at table.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BLACK-GARLIC CRUMBLE AND PARSLEY-ANCHOVY BUTTER
The chef Sean Brock came up with this first course after making Craig Claiborne's Bagna Cauda. Instead of bathing the garlic and anchovy in the oil, Mr. Brock has you bathe a whole head of cauliflower in it. You use a ring mold to hold up the cauliflower in a sauté pan, then brown it by spooning over bubbling oil and butter - a process that's fun and a little hairy - and finish it in the oven. In place of garlic, you use fermented black garlic (which is soft and woodsy in flavor) and milk powder to make a "crumble." You slice the cauliflower into large slabs, like cross-sections of a tree, and top them with an anchovy butter and the crumble.

Steps:
- Make the black-garlic crumble: place the butter, powdered milk and black garlic cloves in a medium saucepan over low heat and cook until the powdered milk is golden brown and nutty, 20 minutes. Strain the butter from the solids and reserve. Dry the solids on paper towels. Place the solids and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse to combine until the garlic is evenly distributed. Dry on paper towels.
- Prepare the parsley-anchovy butter: Heat half the reserved brown butter with the fresh butter and mash in the anchovies. Season with salt, zest and juice. Fold in the parsley. Refrigerate until moldable. Using plastic wrap, form the butter into a log. Chill.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, leaving 1 inch of stem intact. Place a ring mold or cookie cutter around the stem to keep the cauliflower upright. Place the cauliflower, oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season the cauliflower with salt. With a large spoon, continually pour the hot oil-butter mixture over the cauliflower, lowering the heat to medium-low if the fat begins to smoke. After about 20 minutes, once the outside is golden brown, place the pan in the oven and bake until just tender in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
- To serve: cut the warm cauliflower into 4 sections. Cut the butter log into 1/4-inch disks and place three slices on each section of cauliflower. Sprinkle with black-garlic crumble.

PORK CHOPS WITH GARLIC BLACK BEAN SAUCE
I made up this recipe a couple of nights ago and didn't measure anything as I went along. It was so tasty that I thought I would post it here. All the measurements are approximations, so adjust them as you see fit. My sauce was thin but not watery which made for a lighter texture. I think this would be a great crock pot recipe too! I served this dish with a Romaine and Mandarin Orange Salad with a light Ginger dressing, Sesame Green Beans and Steamed Rice. Enjoy!

BROCCOLI, MUSHROOM & RED PEPPERS IN BLACK BEAN GARLIC SAUCE
This is a quick, healthy and very flavorful dish that you start by stir frying then end by steaming. The slurry is optional. It gives the sauce a nice thickness. I used Lee Kum Kee black bean garlic sauce and added 3 cloves of garlic so this is for garlic lovers. The vegetables are full of flavor and crisp! You can steam longer if you enjoy softer vegetables.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, score the skin of each fish fillet, being careful not to cut into the flesh.
- Slice the garlic chives very thin and place them in a small saucepot with the cup of olive oil. Cook over a very low flame until very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the flame and add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside.
- Remove the razor clams and split them lengthwise. Julienne the clams and store them over ice or in the refrigerator.
- In a large, hot sauté pan, add enough canola oil to just coat the bottom of the pan and heat to just below smoking point. Season the fish filets with fresh pepper, Wondra flour, and sea salt. Place fish skin-side down in pan, making sure to press down with a fish spatula to prevent fish from curling. Cook until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip fish and finish cooking on the other side until it is just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- In another medium sauté pan, add a little bit of canola over low heat and sweat the shallots, sugar snap peas, and snow peas until tender, making sure to avoid any caramelization. Raise heat to medium, add the mustard greens and then the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the fish stock and clam juice and reduce by half. Add the razor clams and immediately remove pan from heat, stirring constantly. Add extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream, then add chopped tarragon. Season to taste.
- Add the chopped parsley to the tomato-garlic marinade, stirring to reincorporate oil and vinegar. Divide the garnish equally among 4 plates, top with fish, and spoon about 1 teaspoon of tomato-garlic relish over top of the fish.
- *Low-moisture flour, available at all supermarkets.

- Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl to cool.

- Add black bean sauce and stir until smooth.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or stir-fry pan over medium-high heat.
- Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

- Push broccoli to the sides and pour the sauce mixture in the center.
- Stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute.

- Serve immediately, sprinkled with the sesame seeds.
Tips:
- Choose the right garlic. Use firm, plump garlic bulbs with no signs of sprouting or bruising.
- Prepare the garlic. Separate the garlic cloves and remove any loose papery skin.
- Fermentation method. There are two main methods for fermenting black garlic: the traditional method and the pressure cooker method. The traditional method takes longer (3-4 weeks), but it produces a more intense flavor. The pressure cooker method is faster (1-2 weeks), but it produces a milder flavor.
- Temperature and humidity. The ideal temperature for fermenting black garlic is between 120-140°F (49-60°C). The ideal humidity is between 60-80%. If the temperature or humidity is too high, the garlic may spoil. If the temperature or humidity is too low, the fermentation process will be slowed down.
- Patience is key. Fermenting black garlic takes time. Don't expect to have finished black garlic in a few days. The fermentation process can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months, depending on the method you use.
- Store properly. Once the black garlic is fermented, it can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Black garlic is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make at home, and with a little patience, you can enjoy this unique and flavorful ingredient in no time.
