Summer Squash Anchovy Pasta

Summer Squash Anchovy Pasta by Alison's AllspiceThis summer squash anchovy pasta recipe has a surprising combination of flavors and textures that frankly work really well together. The summer squash is cooked down along with onion and garlic to make a silky-smooth, creamy sauce for the pasta.

Besides the aromatics, the sauce is flavored largely by anchovies.  They add just the right amount of funk to the dish to make it interesting. Continue reading

Homemade Curry Powder

Homemade Curry Powder by Alison's AllspiceI have a few curry recipes here on the blog, and in none of them do I use curry powder.  I always use my own blend of spices and seasonings. One day I had an aha moment, I should mix up a batch of homemade curry powder for meal prep to simplify the process.

Curry is a term used to describe the gravy or sauce found in traditional Indian cuisine.  There are so many variations on flavors found in curry, and therefore curry powders can vary quite a lot, so I like to make my own. Continue reading

Coconut Turmeric Noodle Bowl with Tofu and Veggies

Coconut Turmeric Noodle Bowls with Tofu and Veggies by Alison's AllspiceThis coconut turmeric noodle bowl with tofu and veggies was inspired by golden milk, a creamy drink or tea made with a base of plant-based milk and turmeric.  I used the golden milk in place of broth to make a creamy noodle bowl that can be eaten hot or cold.

This isn’t a soup recipe because the ingredients are prepared individually, not together in one pot.  It resembles a buddah bowl more than it does soup. Continue reading

Spiced Turmeric Tofu with Coconut Cilantro Rice

Spiced Turmeric Tofu with Coconut Cilantro Rice by Alison's AllspiceWhen I was prepping this recipe for the blog, I couldn’t decide if it should be two recipes or one.  In the end, I made it a single recipe for spiced turmeric tofu with coconut cilantro rice. The rice and tofu could be served separately, but they are awesome together!

I’m a huge fan of tofu, while most people are not.  I don’t know why, but I have just always loved it.  Even before going meatless I would seek out restaurants that had great tofu.  Continue reading

Golden Potato and Black Lentil Kale Salad

Golden Potato and Black Lentil Kale Salad by Alison's AllspiceSometimes, when you try something new, you find a new thing to love.  That was me with this recipe, golden potato and black lentil kale salad.

I love kale salads.  Kale can be tough, but all you have to do is give it a little massage to soften it right up.  I also love black lentils, or beluga lentils, as they have a firm texture and a clean flavor (not earthy like brown lentils). Continue reading
