Culinary experts share their secret: how to replace garlic in a dish without losing its spicy flavor

If you simply don't like the taste or smell of fresh garlic, you can try replacing it with dried garlic, or use it in the form of garlic oil or sauce, where it is contained. However, if you are intolerant of this product, you need to resort to more radical methods. This was reported by SSPDaily. Chefs recommend replacing garlic with the following alternatives:

• wild garlic - wild onions;
• capsicum, mustard, peppercorns, horseradish - although there is a slight difference in taste, they will preserve the sharpness of the dish;
• asafoetida - an oriental spice, also called "hing", has a taste that is somewhat reminiscent of a mixture of garlic and onions, it is recommended to add it at the end of cooking and in small doses, because it is very hot;
• ginger - leaves the dish spicy, although it can slightly change its taste.

That is, you can easily replace garlic in any dish without changing its spice and pungency, although the taste may change slightly.
