BEEF PATTIES

Yield Makes 18 patties

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
3 whole scallions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Scotch bonnet peppers (any color), seeded and minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 sprigs fresh
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup ice-cold water
1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and curry powder in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl. Working quickly and using your fingertips, squeeze together the flour mixture and butter and toss it together by scooping under the mixture with both hands. When the mixture resembles a very coarse meal, add the water to the bowl.
  • With floured hands, mix and squeeze the dough just until it forms a ball. Knead it once or twice to combine it fully (the less kneading, the better). Spread the dough into 2 pieces, flattening each into a thick pancake. Wrap in plastic and set them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes. (The dough will keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Remove it from the refrigerator a few minutes before using it.)
  • For filling, mix together the beef, onion, scallions, garlic, peppers, and thyme in a large bowl. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until it is very hot, and add the beef mixture. Fry until the meat is brown and the moisture is evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring occasionally over high heat, allowing a crust to form on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the water and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom to incorporate the browned crust. Add the breadcrumbs and stir. The consistency should be like a thick stew. Add more water as needed. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 15 minutes. Set it aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each piece of the dough into 9 pieces. Using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll out each piece of pastry into a rectangle shape with rounded edges. Spread a large spoonful of the cooled meat mixture over one side of the dough, leaving at least 1/2- to 3/4-inch border on the outside edge. Using your finger, paint water around the border. Fold the other side of the dough over, and roll and crimp the edges. Lightly press a floured fork around the edge of the patty.
  • Place the patty onto a cookie sheet and repeat the procedure with the remaining dough. The patties may be covered in plastic and frozen at this point for later use. Brush each patty with the egg wash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the patties begin to turn a golden color.

1 small onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, and pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup margarine and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Next, prepare the filling.: Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft and translucent. Stir in ground beef.

  • Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • NOTE: If you have the time and organization, it might be best to make the filling in advance, long enough to cool down before fillng the pastry. Otherwise, it might melt the pastry somewhat. Just a thought from a review on another recipe.

JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES



Jamaican Beef Patties image

The Jamaican beef patty is an island's history in the palm of a hand. Dubbed Jamaica's "No. 1 fast food" by Enid Donaldson, author of "The Real Taste of Jamaica," a beef patty's filling is spiced, then baked inside of a suet dough. These pastries are often filled with seasoned ground beef, but can include pork, lamb, lobster, shrimp, cheese, chicken and ackee. The dish is a byproduct of Jamaica's long history - the introduction of spices from African slaves, as well as Indian and Chinese indentured laborers, impacted the patty's development. But while this meal is found throughout Jamaica, it's also present wherever the Caribbean diaspora is around the globe. Both the dough and the filling can be made prior to baking. Eat with coco bread for a more substantial meal.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 patties

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 1/2 cups/450 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
3 teaspoons/7 grams ground turmeric
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 cup/187 grams vegetable shortening
1/2 packed cup/67 grams minced or ground unrendered beef suet (see Tip)
1/2 to 3/4 cup/118 to 177 milliliters ice cold water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 small Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded and minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound beef chuck, minced or ground
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon soy sauce, preferably dark soy sauce
2 small beef stock cubes (14 grams), dissolved in 3 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Whisk flour in a medium bowl, then whisk in turmeric, sugar and salt. Work in shortening and beef suet quickly, rubbing them into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture is evenly crumbly. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice cold water while stirring with your hands to form the dough. If the dough isn't coming together, add more water by the tablespoon as necessary. Form dough into a ball, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • While the dough is chilling, make the filling: Heat a large frying pan over medium, then add vegetable oil. Fry scotch bonnet peppers and onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 8 minutes. Season with allspice, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce and the beef stock mixture. Cook, stirring, until most of the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a dish and let cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. (The filling can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)
  • When ready to assemble patties, heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll on a lightly floured work surface with a lightly floured pin into a 12-inch square. (Turmeric will stain a porous work surface. Roll between sheets of parchment paper if needed.) Fold dough in half to form a rectangle, then fold again the other way to form a square. Roll again into a 12-inch square. Repeat this process 3 more times, letting dough rest as needed if it's too stiff to roll. Roll to 1/8-inch thickness, then use a bowl or pastry cutter to cut out 10 (6-inch) rounds, rerolling scraps as necessary.
  • Divide beef mixture among rounds, spooning about 1/4 cup onto one side of each round. Fold the other side of each round over the meat until the edges meet. Using a fork, seal the edges, then prick the center of each to allow steam to escape.
  • Place patties on 1 or 2 baking sheets, and bake until pastry is set and golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your patties will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh meat, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your patties well. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the Patties Thoroughly: Make sure that the patties are cooked all the way through before serving. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Caribbean patties can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice and peas, coleslaw, or fried plantains.

Conclusion:

Caribbean patties are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal or a party appetizer. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own Caribbean patties at home. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
