Equipment

  • 1 Kitchen Processor
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Frying Pan
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 1 Tbsp. Curry Powder
  • 2 tsp. Turmeric
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 4 oz Butter
  • 4 oz Lard (can use all butter)
  • ¾ Cup Water ice cold
  • 1 Tbsp. White Vinegar
  • 1 each Egg lightly whisked

For the Filling:

  • 1 Lb. Minced Beef
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic finely chopped
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet Chili Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. Curry Powder
  • ½ tsp. Allspice
  • 2 Tbsp. Tomato Ketchup
  • 1½ Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Egg mixed with 2 Tbsp. Milk for egg wash.

Instructions

To Make the Dough:

  • Chill the flour, butter and lard, then pulse in a food processor with the spices and salt, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Mix the water, vinegar and egg, then add the mixture to the food processor and pulse until a dough that holds together is formed.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

To Make the Filling:

  • In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, brown the minced beef, breaking up, and stirring occasionally.
  • When the beef is nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes, reduce heat to medium and add the garlic, onion, and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the curry and allspice, stir for 1 minute, and add the ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Cook for an additional 5 minutes, adding a drop of water to moisten if necessary.
  • Season to taste and set aside.

To Make the Patties:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the dough to an 1/8” thickness on a well-floured work surface.
  • Cut the dough into 8 x 6” circles, using a small plate as a guide, if necessary, and place a spoon of the filling onto each round of dough.
  • Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash and fold over the filling to make a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal and crimp or use a fork to seal.
  • Set the patties on a baking tray lined with parchment and brush the tops lightly with the remaining egg wash.
  • Bake until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Place on a rack and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with a sweet chili sauce or yoghurt to balance the spicy flavours.
