1. 1

   Warm the extra-virgin olive oil in a wide stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until shimmering.

2. 2

   Scatter the chopped black garlic into the skillet and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly crisped around the edges.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the pan, cooking for 1 minute until aromatic and golden without letting the garlic brown excessively.

4. 4

   Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any caramelized bits, and simmer gently for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze.

5. 5

   Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, toss thoroughly over low heat for 1 minute to coat evenly, and transfer immediately to a warm serving dish.
