Flavor stand-ins for the hazelnut

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (sugar, star anise, cream, red wine, orange, yogurt, mint):

  1. Peasbetter flavor fit
  2. Beansbetter flavor fit
  3. Almondbetter flavor fit
  4. Hazelnutthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against sugar, star anise, cream, red wine, orange, yogurt, mint. 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).
