Sift the flour, curry powder and salt into a large bowl. Cut
in the shortening and margarine until crumbly. Add the cold water
to make a stiff dough. Lightly flour a wooden cutting board and
roll out the dough until about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out 8-inch
circles. Cover with wax paper or damp cloth until ready to use.
You can place the dough in the refrigerator overnight. If you
do refrigerate, remove the dough at least 15 minutes before using.
MEAT FILLING
Recipe by ©eatjamaican.com
2 tablespoon oil
1 Small white onion, Finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Chopped Scotch Bonnet pepper
1/2 lb. Lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Curry powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Beef or chicken stock
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 cup Water
In a heavy skillet, melt the margarine and sauté the
onion and Scotch Bonnet Pepper until they become limp. Add the
ground beef, salt, pepper, curry powder and thyme and mix well.
Brown the meat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the breadcrumbs and stock and combine all the ingredients
well. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally. When all the liquids have been absorbed,
the filling is ready. It should be moist but not watery. Remove
the skillet from the stove and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Uncover the dough circles and place 2 to 3 tablespoons of
filling on half of each. Moisten the edges of the dough with
water and fold the dough circle over the meat filling. Pinch
the edges closed with a fork. Lightly brush the pastry with a
mixture of the egg and water. Bake on a lightly greased baking
sheet for 30 to 40 minutes or until the pastry are golden brown.
Serves: 10 Patties
