Getting Started
- For dairy-free marinades, use a base of olive oil, citrus juice (lime, orange), vinegar, or coconut aminos. These liquids carry allspice flavor effectively and tenderize without dairy.
- When applying allspice as a dry rub, pat your protein (chicken, pork) completely dry before rubbing with oil and spices. This promotes a superior crust and prevents steaming on the grill. Grill chicken thighs at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes per side.
- To prevent sticking on the grill without butter, ensure grates are clean and hot, then oil them thoroughly with a high smoke point oil like grapeseed or avocado oil. Grill salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 4-6 minutes per side.
- Allspice pairs exceptionally well with fruits like pineapple and mango on the grill. The heat caramelizes natural sugars, while the spice adds depth. Grill pineapple slices at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes per side.
