CREAMY CASHEW AND BLACK GARLIC SAUCE

CREAMY CASHEW AND BLACK GARLIC SAUCE




This 3 ingredient Cashew and Black Garlic Sauce is a real super star of healthy condiments. Versatile, rich, creamy and above all really tasty. It takes only 15 minutes to make, can be eaten cold or hot, as a dip or sauce, poured over pasta, meat or vegetables



Ingredients


120g (1 cup) raw cashew nuts


5 large black garlic cloves (10g)


½ teaspoon salt


180ml (¾ cup) boiling hot water and more for soaking


Instructions


In a heatproof bowl, submerge cashews in boiling hot water. Leave for 10 minutes to soak.


Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cover the black garlic cloves with 180ml hot water, and using a whisk help them to soften by smashing and whisking the cloves in the liquid. You don’t need to dissolve the cloves completely, just loosen them up a bit.


Drain the soaking water and rinse cashews thoroughly under a running tap water.


Place the drained cashews with salt in a blender and pour the water with black garlic in as well. Blend for about 30 seconds or until completely smooth.


Notes


Leftover sauce can be kept refrigerated for 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
For richer version of this delicious sauce you can double the amount of black garlic cloves, add 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of tahini. I like it both ways

WHAT IS BLACK GARLIC

What Is Black Garlic and How Is It Used? Black garlic is fresh, white garlic that has been aged by warming the garlic bulbs at about 140˚ to 190˚ F in high humidity for an extended period of time (often a month or more) until the cloves become tender and black in color. Some black garlic is also aged through yeast-fermentation under the same conditions. During the aging process the cloves undergo  the Maillard reaction  as the heat creates changes in the amino acids and sugars in the garlic. This reaction is what gives black garlic its rich, tangy, molasses-like flavor and black color. (One common myth about black garlic is that it’s fermented; it is  not.  By definition, fermentation is a chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or microorganisms, and it is a process often used in the production of foods like sauerkraut and beer.
