Friends for Jeff Spiegelman,
It’s good to be back after a September break. Its been a busy month. I spent a week in Taiwan, celebrated a birthday, have been trying to get caught up in real estate work, etc. etc. etc.

I have only recently discovered something called “black garlic.” This is normal garlic that has been preserved in a way that makes the cloves dark black and almost creamy. It has a great texture and a heavy, unique flavor. A real cook/chef (meaning, someone a lot better than me) might describe it as “umami”. But what do you do with it? Here are some ideas:
-Place slices of it over slices of tomato topped with salt and a drizzle of olive oil
-Soak it in olive oil for a delicious infusion.
-Chop it very thin for roasting pumpkin seeds (more on this next week)
-Use slivers of it on steak instead of normal garlic
-Slice thin for use on smoked salmon and cream cheese
-Use slices for an antipasto plate
-Go get some, try it, and report back what you learned. I keep discovering new uses.
— Thanks.
