Substituting for Garlic and Onion

[BakerAunt]

I saw an interesting article on hos to substitute for cooking with garlic and onions:

Everything Starts With Onions and Garlic. But What If That Stops?

That is an interesting article. I have recently been thinking about the use of garlic and onion, and recognizing they are in almost all of my favorite dishes. And if a dish seems to be lacking in flavor, I reach for the garlic and onion. I do not use either when I cook Moroccan meals in my tagine, or when I have Korean foods (except in scallion pancakes!). I do use onions whenever I'm fixing a roast in the tagine. I grow and use garlic chives a lot in the summer, but they are pretty mild.

I haven't had to cut all alliums out of our diet yet, just garlic. I use onions in moderation.

I believe leeks are also alliums, as are chives, so anyone with a major allium problem probably can't substitute them.
