BLACK GARLIC



Black Garlic image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus a little to drizzle
2 medium yellow skinned onions, 1 finely chopped, divided, 1 thinly sliced
3 cups chicken stock, divided
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, 5 or 6 sprigs, chopped
1 1/2 cups white rice
1 (14-ounce) can black beans
2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend ( recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 lime
3 green plantains (they like green bananas and are available in produce department)
Waxed paper
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin and finely chopped
1 pound small shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 lemon
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
Hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)

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.

PORK CHOPS WITH GARLIC BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Pork Chops with Garlic Black Bean Sauce image

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!

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BLACK-GARLIC CRUMBLE AND PARSLEY-ANCHOVY BUTTER



Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Black-Garlic Crumble and Parsley-Anchovy Butter image

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.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup nonfat powdered milk
10 black garlic cloves, peeled (see note)
Half the reserved brown butter (3-4 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 anchovy fillets
Salt
Grated zest from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 small head cauliflower
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt

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.

BLACK BASS WITH HON-SHIMEJI MUSHROOMS, RAZOR CLAMS, AND TOMATO-GARLIC MARINADE



Black Bass with Hon-Shimeji Mushrooms, Razor Clams, and Tomato-Garlic Marinade image

Provided by Shea Gallante

Categories     Fish     Leafy Green     Mushroom     Tomato     Sauté     Bass     Clam     Summer     Shallot     Sugar Snap Pea

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 fillets black sea bass, about 6 to 8 ounces each
2 chives, whites only
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
1 dozen fresh live razor clams
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 cup Wondra flour*
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup snow peas, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup mustard greens
1 cluster Hon-Shimeji mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
1/4 cup fish stock
1/4 cup fresh clam juice or high-quality bottled clam juice
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon tarragon, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper

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.

  • Combine cauliflower and black garlic in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely "riced". Transfer to a bowl. Add flour, eggs, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, black pepper, basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  • Drop cauliflower mixture onto the parchment paper using a large cookie scoop; flatten slightly with your fingers.
  • Air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, flip using a spatula, and continue cooking until patties are set, about 1 minute more. Remove from the air fryer and top each patty with 1/4 slice of Swiss cheese. Return to the air fryer and cook until cheese is melted, 30 to 40 seconds more.

SESAME CARROT PANCAKES W/BLACK BEAN GARLIC SAUCE



Sesame Carrot Pancakes W/Black Bean Garlic Sauce image

Asian black bean sauce is actually made from soy beans, which turn black as they ferment. When I saw the contest ingredients I was inspired to attempt a version using actual black beans. The sauce pairs nicely with the colorful sesame carrot pancakes. This recipe can be served as a unique side dish or as a hot or cold appetizer.
