Flavor stand-ins for the onion

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (clove, garlic, sugar, honey, sauce, ketchup, ginger):

  1. Capsicumbetter flavor fit
  2. Mustardbetter flavor fit
  3. Shallotbetter flavor fit
  4. Onionthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against clove, garlic, sugar, honey, sauce, ketchup, ginger. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
