How to Make Black Garlic Aioli – Black Garlic Mayo Recipe

I´m a huge fan of the classic garlic aioli, It´s a creamy garlicky mayonnaise type sauce that goes with just about anything. With that in mind, a couple of weeks ago I noticed my local grocery store started selling black garlic. As a garlic-oholic, I immediately bought some and ran back home. When I tasted the black garlic it blew me away, totally not what I expected, soft and sweet, it was devine.

The first idea that ran through my head was to create a black garlic aioli, so I got to work in the kitchen. After a couple of test run recipes the perfect black garlic aioli was born. Today I´m going to show you How to Make Black Garlic Aioli. It is a sweet and salty mayo like sauce that literally goes with just about anything, from grilled fish to grilled vegetables, but I love it spread on a crunchy baguette 🙂 .

Invented by the Asians thousands of years ago for medicinal reasons, black garlic has a ton of healthy benefits to it. First off black garlic is made by slowly baking each bulb of garlic in a very low heat for several weeks, this does not caramalize the garlic so it doesn´t lose any of its health benefits.

Black garlic has more allicin than raw garlic, double the antioxidants and is rich in amino acids. If you can´t find black garlic in your local grocery store, you can get some on Amazon.com. And remember this, black garlic cannot replace raw garlic in a recipe, they´re 2 completely different types of ingredients.
