Smoked Trout Melts

Smoked Trout Melts by Alison's AllspiceCalling all trout fishermen and fisherwomen!  I have taken the classic tuna melt, and transformed it into a trout fishermans dreams, smoked trout melts.  It is ultra creamy, while still slightly smokey and sweet, and it’s ready for dinner in only 15 minutes!

I love to spend a whole day pulling out the smoker and loading it with trout and my homemade smoked tofu recipe, along with whatever else suits my fancy.  Smoked trout is a true delicacy, and I always make enough for plenty of leftovers! Continue reading

Mushroom and Pickled Onion Sandwiches

Mushroom and Pickled Onion Sandwiches by Alison's AllspiceWhenever I enjoy a sandwich, I want it to be over-the-top.  So full of flavor and texture that you’ll beleive its the best food in the world.  These mushroom and pickled onion sandwiches are rather simple, yet loaded with both texture and flavor.

Lets start by discussing the texture.  The silky cheese coats the mushroom pieces helping to hold them together, pickled onions add brightness, and the lettuce and toasted bread add crunch. Continue reading

Grilled Eggplant and Herb Wrap

Grilled Eggplant and Herb Wrap by Alison's AllspiceHas everyone had a great summer full of grilling? I grill out every Sunday night.  This week, I made a grilled eggplant and herb wrap that is loaded with fresh flavor!

Are you a fan of eggplant?  It can be bitter, and salting the eggplant helps to remove those bitter flavors.  Also, the fresher the eggplant, the less bitter.

Some people are sensitive to eggplants bitterness, and others not.  Therefore, this may be a step you can skip if you don’t notice the bitter flavor of eggplant. Continue reading

Korean BBQ Tempeh Wraps

Korean BBQ Tempeh Wraps by Alison's AllspiceHave you tried Korean BBQ, or gochujang sauce yet? In these Korean BBQ tempeh wraps, the spicy gochujang is balanced by cool cucumber and creamy mayo.

Gochujang sauce is spicy, which is one reason I love it.  If you (or a member of your family) don’t like spicy, try using regular BBQ sauce in the skillet and personalize each wrap with spicy Korean or sweet American BBQ sauce. Continue reading

Gyro Tofu Sliders with Tzatziki Slaw

Gyro Tofu Sliders with Tzatziki Slaw by Alison's AllspiceI have done it again.  All things gyro!  This time, I made gyro tofu sliders with tzatziki slaw.  The tofu was pan fried so it was nice and crispy on the outside, just the way I like it!

The first time I tried this recipe, I was using up leftovers from the fridge.  I had just made my favorite gyro recipe, these tempeh gyro tacos, and I was inspired to try the marinade with some leftover tofu. Continue reading

Easy Hummus and Pickled Pepper Wraps

Easy Hummus and Pickled Pepper Wraps by Alison's AllspiceThis summer, time has not been on my side.  I always seem to have less than I need (or want) to get things done.  I have been eating these easy hummus and pickled pepper wraps for lunches because I can literally make them in 2 minutes.

So, a little news for you all.  I have taken a new job! I don’t talk much about my “real” work here because that’s not what this space is about.  The prep for the upcoming semester has kept me from this space, and I apologize for that. Continue reading

Smoked Tofu and Sprouts Sandwich
