Adobo + butter substitute
Adobo (Spanish: marinade, sauce, or seasoning) is the immersion of raw food into a preparation of different components including paprika (from red peppers), oregano, salt, garlic, and vinegar. The cooking technique is native to Spanish cuisine. Once becoming widely used in Latin America it was subsequently adopted in other countries such as the United States. In Venezuela, adobo refers to a mixture of salt with various spices technically known as sal condimentada (seasoned salt). Adobo is also the name given by Spanish colonists to an unrelated but superficially similar Philippine cooking process which primarily uses vinegar. [Wikipedia]

Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Adobo and butter substitute, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Adobo and butter substitute overlap on 16 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
