Oh no, I couldn't survive without onions and garlic. Have you tried asafoetida (I think that is how you spell it)? It is used by [I think] hindus in their cooking as they do not eat the allium family.
Marina, I had to smile at your cooking results. Keep trying. I have developed a sensitivity to onion and some artificial sweeteners. Bit of a challenge. Using lots of fresh herbs and Stevia seems ok. Small amount of garlic may be ok.
CC, I can have a little leek. Same with garlic.cant have onion powder. Couldn't imagine Chicken soup without onion but the addition of Rosemary , Sage and Thyme was very nice and didn't miss the onion. Today cooking Teriyaki chicken from RecipeTinEats mum's recipe. Also the Kale is growing well so will be looking for an interesting recipe. Trying new recipe for cooking Fennel. This is also growing well. Made Adam Laiw's Rosti with Celeriac and potato. Instead of grating potato and Celeriac I chopped it in TMX for a couple of seconds. Celeriac also from garden. Very nice.
Thanks CC, Marina also mentioned it.The Fennel was not as nice as I had hoped. The crisp bits were crunchy and good but the un crisped bit not so good.
