Black Garlic

1. Stage

Place a rice cooker in your garage or on an outside porch if possible; the garlic will release a very strong odor as it cooks.

2. Stage

Place garlic in the rice cooker. Cover and cook on the Keep Warm setting for 2 weeks, without opening the lid.

3. Stage

After 2 weeks, check garlic. It should be soft, fermented, and black in color. If not, continue to cook on the same setting, checking weekly, 1 to 4 more weeks.
