Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup vegan butter
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small scotch bonnet pepper, minced
- 12 ounces vegan ground beef
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup vegetable stock
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, turmeric, and salt. Add the vegan butter, cut into small pieces, and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Gradually add the cold water, stirring with a fork, until the dough starts to come together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Cook the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add vegan ground beef to the skillet. Stir in thyme, allspice, paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is well-seasoned.
Stir in breadcrumbs, vegetable stock, sliced green onions, and tomato paste. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling on one half of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges using a fork.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan Jamaican beef patties!
