Yield: 11 servings
Cuisine: Jamaican
Ingredients: 4 cups Plain Flour; 1 tsp Salt; 1 tsp Curry Powder; 250g Butter; 1 cup Water; 900g Minced Beef; 1 tsp Allspice; 1/2 tsp Black Pepper; 2 tbs Vegetable Oil; 1 cup Onions; Ground Red Pepper; 2 tsp ground Garlic; 1 tbs Thyme; 1/4 tsp Salt; 2 tbs Tomato Ketchup; 2 cups Water; 1/2 cup Onions; 1 beaten Egg; 1 tbs Water; 1/4 cup Water

Method

Make the Pastry Dough: To a large bowl, add flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and curry powder (or turmeric) and mix thoroughly. Rub butter/shortening into flour until there are small pieces covered with flour. Gradually add ice water until the mixture forms a dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling: Season ground beef with allspice and black pepper. Heat oil in a skillet, sauté onions until translucent, then add red pepper, garlic, and thyme. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink.
Simmer the Filling: Add ketchup and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until most liquid has evaporated and a thick sauce remains. Fold in green onions (1/2 cup onions) and let cool completely.
Assemble: Beat the egg and 1 tbs water for an egg wash. Roll out dough on a floured surface into 5-inch circles. Place 3 tablespoons of filling on one half, moisten edges with water, fold over, and seal with a fork.
Bake: Place patties on a parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate while preheating oven to 350°F. Brush with egg wash and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
