CrayDad's Black Garlic Butter

You don't know the power of the darkside...

It is said that garlic can ward off vampires but did you know it also works on children? That is until our family discovered it's mild-mannered umami-packed cousin, black garlic.

Some say that black garlic originated in Korea and others say that it's fermented. Whatever the truth is one thing is for sure - it will make your tastebuds jump into light speed when paired with steaming hot crayfish.

In most grocery stores a few dollars can buy you a large amount of garlic heads. Black garlic on the other hand can run you about $10-$15 for a couple heads. We make black garlic at home and will post that recipe in the near future.

Ingredients:

• 1 head Black Garlic
• 1 stick Unsalted Butter
• Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

Directions:

Allow the stick of butter to come to room temperature before continuing with the recipe. Separate and peel the entire head of black garlic. Then either chop or smash the cloves and add it to the completely softened butter. Combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Place in the center of some plastic wrap and role carefully into a log shape. Chill in your refrigerator until hardened.
