Jamaican Patties; Beef, Chicken, or Lamb image

These are delicious curry-flavored pastries found in the Caribbean islands, particularly in Jamaica. Great as a snack or as a Jamaican meal compliment. I also enjoy them with a spinach, corn, and bean salad. I have used pre-packaged Crescent rolls (2 cylinders rolled out and cut into 10 circles or phyllo dough (15 sheets cut lengthwise to make 30 triangles) as a time saver. Not as good or as spicy as the handmade pastry, but sometimes there's just not enough time. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days an reheat in microwave on medium heat.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my patties didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were still edible, but not great.

I'm allergic to onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The patties were still delicious.
