Caribbean Beef Patties

You may remember that I shared a couple of recipes a little while ago which had a Caribbean twist to them – Jerk Hamburgers with Pineapple Chilli Relish, and Tropical Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips. Well, I also made some Caribbean Beef Patties but didn’t get around to sharing the recipe, so here it is now!

  2. Turn up the heat, add the garlic, fresh chilli and the mince, and cook until browned.
  3. Add the potato, 1 tsp turmeric, thyme, tomato puree and the water. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.

  5. Season with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce to your taste.
  6. Leave to cool.

  8. Roll out the pastry to around 5mm thick. Cut 6 x 15cm circles (use a plate as a guide).
  9. Divide the meat and potato mixture between each circle of pastry, piling it on one side.
  10. Mix the egg with the other teaspoon of turmeric, brush around the edge of each circle. Fold over the pastry and use a fork to seal the edges.
