Notes
Need a substitute for allspice? Allspice is known for its unique flavour that combines the tastes of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. To replicate this flavour when you don't have allspice on hand, you can create a substitute using these three spices in equal parts.
Cinnamon provides a warm, sweet flavour with a hint of spiciness. Cloves add a strong, pungent, and slightly sweet taste. Nutmeg contributes a warm, nutty, and slightly sweet flavour.
By combining these spices, you can create a blend that closely resembles the taste of allspice and can be used in recipes that call for allspice. Start with small amounts of each spice and adjust to taste, as cloves can be quite potent.
You can substitute the sugar with plant-derived noncaloric sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
For this allspice recipe to be perfect, use a good olive oil or extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. As you’re consuming it in its natural form, there’s no hiding substandard ingredients.
To ensure the vinaigrette emulsifies perfectly, you can slowly drizzle the olive oil into the vinegar while whisking vigorously or use a blender or food processor for a creamier texture.
