Almost 2 months without garlic & onion. Good vibes!

For those of you that love garlic and onions, good stuff. Garlic and onion have many benefits.

For me I feel a lot better off without them. I think my sauces have more vibrant flavours without garlic and onion.

I have more ginger as well now.

I start feeling better off about 5 days of stopping them. I’m nearly 2 months without them.

Too much onion and garlic can cause anemia and damage to the red blood cells. Also can lower mood in certain people. I read about it.

My tomato bolognaise sauces have a more fruity flavour, whereas when I used to add onion garlic it would deepen the taste, probably not they way I like it, but some really like it that way.

It’s interesting, because I do notice a difference.

Just thought I’d share that.

Please don’t stop garlic and onion because of me. A lot of people benefit from them, I just feel better personally without them.

My mom does not eat onion and garlic as well. But rarely she eats if no other choice. It’s because they are sexually produced plants as I recall. Not sure if it’s true. As @AhmShere said it has some non-preferred qualities.

Garlic is nearly ubiquitous in Indian cuisine, particularly in the masala sauces.

Huh your right! Its dried and powdered and in thr curries. I didnt notice it in the melange.
Thanks @shutterbug!

Though i know there are many dishes that call for asoefeitda instead. I guess those arent curry dishes.

He’s my spaghetti bolognaise recipe. You can add onion and garlic if u like.

Olive oil, canned tomatoes, salt pepper, red wine, minced beef, bacon rashers, and sometimes I add a little sweetcorn. I drizzle with honey as well.

Cook how you would normally make bolognaise. Of course I used to add onion garlic, but just as good without it.

Stir the red wine in with the bacon and minced beef before adding canned tomatoes.

Simmer for 15 -20 minutes.

It’s very yummy

Updated- also add a little oregano

I don’t like raw onion or garlic but I kind of like fried and cooked onions in my cuisine.

I mean onions are prevalent in almost every type of cuisine.

It’s hard to avoid.

When I cook I’ll use onion and garlic powder.

I just can’t eat these raw… yuk!

It’s definitely hard to avoid. They’re in everything. For me it’s worth it though. But yeh it’s hard avoiding them at first.

They are good for you though I think, I’m just feeling better without them.

Garlic oil capsules are used to lower cholesterol levels
