"Burnt" Brussels Sprouts With Black Garlic
4.5 from 2 ratings
Black garlic has an umami type of flavor — aged and salty — and the interior texture is similar to that of a fig. It goes great with Brussels sprouts, which in this recipe are roasted in the oven until charred and almost burnt.Recipe courtesy of Mareya Ibrahim,  Eat Like You Give A Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive.
