We’ve all been there. You’re ready to make that recipe you’ve been looking forward to all week. You gather the ingredients and realize that something’s missing. You don’t have one of the spices the recipe calls for. Whether you forgot to add it to your shopping list or the spice is hard to find, you need it and you need it now. Or maybe there’s a recipe that sounds really good to you, but there’s one ingredient that you don’t especially like. And sometimes you just want to change it up a little. So what do you do?Picking the right spice substitute can be challenging. Many spices have unique character and flavor profiles that are difficult to match. Lucky for you, there are some good substitutes that will get you close to the general taste of a dish. Although the flavor will be similar to the original, it will not be exactly the same.
