Flavor stand-ins for the shallot

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (olive, garlic, beans, kombu, mint, lime, pepper):

  1. Tomatobetter flavor fit
  2. Capsicumbetter flavor fit
  3. Spinachbetter flavor fit
  4. Shallotthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against olive, garlic, beans, kombu, mint, lime, pepper. 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).
