Black Cardamom loves deep, savory foods: biryani, pulao, meat curries, lamb, goat, beef, venison, pork shoulder, brisket, beans, lentils, tomato sauce, chili, and long braises.
It is also excellent with earthy mushrooms, roasted carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash, duck with orange or plum, strong fish like salmon or mackerel, dark chocolate, coffee, hot cocoa, and cocktails built around bourbon, rye, Scotch, mezcal, or dark rum.
