My poor brother, a man who likes flavorful foods, has recently been diagnosed with some food sensitivities that cause severe gastric distress (use your imagination).

One of these sensitivities is to fructan (?), which is apparently in both garlic and onion. Both fresh and dry/powdered.

Unfortunately, most of his favorite sauces contain garlic. “Simpler” sauces like Tabasco are fine, but he wants to also find some sauces that are more complex than pepper and vinegar.

So, what can this community suggest for your favorite sauces without garlic or onion in them?

Thanks!

    I’m not sure if this is an option for your brother, but I was blown away when I found out how easy homemade hot sauce is to make. If you have a blender and either a roasting pan or a pot, you can make your own. I recently spent $5 US on produce and an hour in the kitchen, and I have enough hot sauce to last a month. Admittedly all of my recipes have used onion and garlic, but it’s super flexible and forgiving to make your own recipes. You can also get into fermentation if that’s more your speed, and all you need is produce and salt.
