Jamaican Beef Patties
Pastry:
Use frozen puff pastry or shortcrust. If making fresh pastry, add a tsp. of ground tumeric or annatto to give it the traditional yellow color.
Filling:
- 300g/10 oz. Minced beef or chicken

Directions:
- Mix all filling ingredients and saute in a little oil until cooked. Set aside and let cool.
