Quick garlic-free dinners?
Hi everyone. I normally put loads of garlic in pretty much everything but I've started going to aikido again in the evenings and eating garlic beforehand is, well, it's not really considerate to the person you're practicing with. So does anyone have any good ideas for garlic-free cooking? So far I've been making pasta sauces and just leaving the garlic out, but they're proving a little disappointing. Quick recipes would be a bonus, but something I could make in advance and just heat up beforehand would also be a good idea.
Cheers,
Alex

Lemon juice is another good thing to liven up a sauce and I believe it's supposed to make you smell nice as well, as is parsley :)
A very quick but delicious sauce for pasta which I think I first read about on here is to whizz the drained and rinsed contents of a tin of artichoke hearts with some tahini and lemon juice. It doesn't need garlic but you could add some herbs and spices.

Sorry, Alex, but there is NO replacement for garlic :-)
I like to use vegan dashi (broth made from seaweed), but the commercially available ones all contain MSG, so not everybody's preference.
Best regards,
