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

Flavor stand-ins for the chard

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (olive, pepper, garlic, provolone cheese, cheese, bread, prosciutto):

  1. Tomatobetter flavor fit
  2. Capsicumbetter flavor fit
  3. Onionbetter flavor fit
  4. Chardthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against olive, pepper, garlic, provolone cheese, cheese, bread, prosciutto. 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).
