(Part of multi branched 🧵 on onion and garlic free cooking)

About a week ago I made some suggestions in response to a question, for replacing onions/garlic in recipes:

"You can sub in ginger or galangal for garlic, a bit of black pepper for chilli and something with a bite - capers fore example, or something pickled, for onions. It won't be the same but will add interest and flavour.

Or if you want that mellowed, cooked-down slightly sweet onion flavour then a mirepoix would do, or just carrots and capsicum."

This morning I was reading in #PlantBasedIndia by #DrSheilShukla that he suggests fennel or cabbage (both good choices imo), but he says that time is the key when sauteeing the veg to get the rich and complex flavours that you want. (Yes, agree.)
