- Salt + pepper to taste
- 120 ml dry white wine
- 5 cloves of black garlic

Preparation:
Bake the mushrooms and mushrooms until the moisture has largely evaporated and the mushrooms are golden brown. Remove some mushrooms from the pan and store them to garnish the soup.

Black garlic is healthy and is becoming increasingly popular. It is fermented garlic and turns black by placing it in a humid room for 30 to 40 days at an average temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius. The humidity in this area is between 75-80%. Unlike many fermentation processes (such as tempeh or sourdough), no fungi and other starter cultures are needed. It is the naturally present sugars and amino acids in the raw tubers that cause a kind of maillard reaction (maillard reaction is the chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids, this reaction causes, for example, a brown crust on the casserole.) This reaction gives the garlic a black color and a sweet taste. The structure is soft and sticky.
