this may sound strange but what can substitute onion? most recipes I read contains onion. let's say I don't have onion, what can substitute it? I have tried garlic and spring onion, and the taste is quite different. has anyone tried replacing onion with something else and it worked? what recipe is that?

Shallots are different from scallions/green onions.Shallots look like big, pink garlic bulbs. They'd be a decent substitute for onions, depending on how exacting you are. IP: Logged |

My neighbors are prolific Gardners with an allergy to onions and they grow tons of garlic to use in its place. The taste is different but it works. You cannot use a garlic press. That makes it bitter. Mincing it finely or slivering it is better. If you are using it just for flavoring, pierce it with a knife several times and use it whole. And never use garlic powder. Yikes!
