Substitute for onions/garlic

This is a response to a question I have heard a couple of times on the show, "What can substitute for onions and garlic?" I have heard that the spice asafatida/asafoetida/asafoeteda (perhaps found at Indian markets? I've also seen it at some co-op grocery stores) can be used as a substitute for onions and garlic, although I don't have personal experience with this.

    Hi Heidi and anyone else interested in substitutions for garlic and onions - For more information on asafoetida, you can read this discussion which expands a bit on what it is and where to find it. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
