Black garlicHad some on for 5 weeks in a prover, not come out very even, ranging from black and chewy to black to brown.
I figure that in an unheated kitchen, the device:

has kind of struggled to maintain temperature.
But it's interesting stuff.

I know a commercial composter that uses his piles for making black garlic (in sealed jars). He claims it's absolutely the perfect conditions.

I've never even heard of it. Do you eat it like you do normal garlic?

It's a lot milder, you can eat the cloves like sweets.

No. Use it as a garnish or a Raw flavour. I’m not sure I’d cook with it. It’s like a mild garlic with a complex, balsamic sweetness. Sainsbury’s has it currently.

Or buy some of it. Soak some ordinary raw garlic in food colouring. Play russian roulette.

Nice idea Sean.
Thanks all. Next time I'm near a Sainsburys I'll have a mooch.
