Garlic Substitutes

Hi Guys,

I'm cooking lunch and dinner for 8 people on Christmas day and one of them is allergic to garlic. When cooking for this guy I normally substitute with a lot shallots and chives, but was wondering what other substitutes I could try.

What do you think? Would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks in advance,

Damo

You could try asafoetida powder or "hing", which is available online or in Indian markets. It's used quite frequently in Indian cuisine, and has an aroma reminiscent of garlic. Use a small amount...usually 1/4 tsp or less to get started, often added to hot oil at the beginning of cooking.

why not just use garlic and cook without it
