Black Garlic Ranch (Blanch)

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise (good quality)
• 2 heads black garlic
• 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
• 0.5 lemon juice (juiced from half a lemon)
• 2 tbsp buttermilk
• 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
• 2 cloves roasted garlic

Steps

1. 1

   Place the sour cream, mayonnaise, black garlic cloves, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, buttermilk, blue cheese crumbles, and roasted garlic cloves into a bowl or wide-mouthed jar.

2. 2

   Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until the black garlic is fully incorporated and the sauce is completely smooth.

3. 3

   Serve immediately as a dipping sauce or transfer to a bottle for storage.

Notes

The author suggests adding black truffle in the future for even more depth. This sauce is specifically designed to balance the strong umami of the black garlic with the tang of buttermilk and blue cheese.
