Jamaican Patties
Try these lovely Jamaican style patties made by Shane Jordan from Bristol.
Ingredients:
Pastry
- 3 ⅓ cups of gram flour (chickpea flour)
- ½ tbsp curry powder
- ½ tbsp paprika
- ½ tbsp turmeric
- ¼ cup soya margarine OR 2 tbsp vegan marg + 2 tbsp softened coconut oil
Vegetable filling
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tbsp curry powder
- ½ tbsp paprika
- ½ tsp of turmeric
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (frozen), or fresh vegetables chopped into little square pieces - the vegetables could also include cooked beans or lentils
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
A little soya or other plant milk to glaze
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
1. Mix the chickpea flour, curry powder, paprika and turmeric into a large bowl.
2. Rub in the marg/coconut oil with the flour mixture until it resembles bread crumbs.
3. Gradually mix in a tablespoon of water at a time, until the mixture forms a stiff dough. Form it into a circle and roll out on a floured surface to form a thin sheet of pastry.
4. Cut out 20cm/8 inch circles in the pastry using a cup or plate.
5. For the vegetable filling, heat the oil in a pan and add the spices, followed by the onion, mixed veg and Tabasco sauce. Fry until veg is soft.
6. Put a tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the centre of half of the pastry circles, then brush the edge around the filling with soya milk, before placing a second circle of pastry on the top of each.
7. Secure the top and bottom of the pattie together by brushing with a little soya milk then pressing your fingers all around the sides (use wet fingers). Brush the tops of the patties with the milk.
8. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 30-40 minutes.
