Ingredients

1 head black garlic (removed from the peel and finely chopped)
1 small clove fresh garlic (minced)
1 tbsp finely-chopped shallot
3 tbsp red wine vinegar (plus more to taste)
2 tsp prepared mustard
1/2 tbsp agave nectar ((or sweetener of choice))
6 tbsp olive oil (plus more as needed)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

In a blender or food processor, combine the black garlic, fresh garlic, and shallot, and blend as finely as possible. Add the red wine vinegar, mustard, and agave nectar, and again blend to combine.
Add olive oil in a steady stream, blending until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste (this will need plenty of salt), and add more oil if needed to reach the desired texture. After adding additional oil, check the seasoning one more time for salt, pepper, and acid.
Enjoy right away, or store in the fridge for up to a week or more. The mustard and black garlic help this dressing emulsify quite well, but if needed, shake/stir the dressing again before serving.

Lovely ingredients and I can't wait to try! Been obsessed with black garlic for a while now! Unfortunately, Trader Joe’s Black Garlic is processed in Japan. Black Garlic North America makes theirs from garlic grown in North America and make it in Wisconsin. And they've got certified organic. (I see their 2-bulb bags in Wisco co-ops). They sell 4 bulbs of black garlic with free shipping on their site for $12 (4+oz for $12 vs Trader Joes 1+ oz for $3) Pretty good price comparison considering quality and origin. Just don’t buy the bulk bags on Amazon and you’re good to go :) (unless you are like me and want a ton of the stuff - even then I just buy the peeled cloves straight from their site because it is so much more convenient than the sticky bulbs I gotta peel) haha! :) Or, if you are super patient you can just make the stuff, though I haven't tried to yet! LOL!

I'm an aspiring chef in culinary school and I used your recipe adapting slightly and my chef instructor loved it.

Just made this wonderful condiment. Put it on undressed coleslaw shavings....Made a wonderful tangy coleslaw. Three are so many things I can think to use this on.
