Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the onion

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (chicken, potato, cream, mushroom, milk):

  1. Asparagusabout as good a flavor fit
  2. Onionthe original
  3. Capsicumabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Spinachabout as good a flavor fit

Fit is the average pairing score against chicken, potato, cream, mushroom, milk. 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).
