Jamaican Beefless Patties are delightful pastry pockets with curried vegetables that are a wonderful vegan addition to the menu. The patties are an indigenous food that has made its way to other parts of the world and is adored by many. This meat-free version primarily makes use of textured vegetable protein, which is a high-protein meat substitute. This recipe blends the right kind of spices and herbs, including curry powder and turmeric, all of which provide satiety without making you feel bloated. The outer crust of the patties is flaky, and baked to a golden brown, which makes them all the more irresistible.

Instructions

1.In a bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, curry powder, and turmeric well. Add shortening and tallow and mix until crumbly.
2.Gradually add ice-cold water to the mixture and stir to combine. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes to make it smooth.
3.Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
4.While the dough is resting, mix textured vegetable protein, no-beef broth, vegan Worcestershire sauce, salt, allspice, curry powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
5.In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté until fragrant.
6.Add acorn squash, kale, and thyme to the skillet, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes.
7.Add the TVP mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Slowly add water to the skillet, stirring continuously.
8.Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced, and the mixture is thick.
9.Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 1/8” thickness. Cut the dough with a round cookie cutter for the desired size. Place a tablespoon of filling on one side of the dough and fold the other side over. Press the edges with a fork to seal, and brush with egg wash.
10.Bake the patties for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
