Vegan Recipe: Jamaican Patties | The Edgy Veg
[candice] today on The EdgyVeg, i'm going to show you how to make an island favourite-
[candice] JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES. but vegan!
[candice] everything's gonna be irie!
[candice] you cannot have a jamaican patty without the perfect fluffy crust, right?
[candice] so that's what we're going to make first.
[candice] it's kind of like making a pie crust, the same type of idea.
[candice] but we're shoving things into it to make a jamaican patty!
[candice] so we're going to add some flour,
[candice] then we're adding quite a bit of salt,
[candice] and for colour, that very iconic orange traditional jamaican patty colour,
[candice] we're using turmeric.
[candice] mix that to get rid of any lumps also known as sifting.
[candice] and then i'm going to cut in my vegan vegetable shortening, my vegan butter.
[candice] until i get crumbs.
[candice] now that we have crumbs, i am going to add some ice ice cold water,
[candice] till it becomes a dough.
[candice] now really quickly, we have to make this into a ball, wrap it up in saran wrap
[candice] and toss it in the fridge for an hour and a half minimum.
[candice] so roll it into a ball, then cover it in saran wrap, nice and tight.
[candice] now let's toss this guy into the fridge and get started on the meat!
[candice] now i decided to make a traditional 'beef-style' patty instead of vegetable patties.
[candice] it's really really hard to get it beef style jamaican patty that's vegan.
[candice] plus, let's just face it. it is the better tasting patty.
[candice] the first thing we're going to do is heat up our vegan butter in our pan.
[candice] we're going to add in our onions and our garlic and our ginger.
[candice] and cook that for another 4 minutes until it's translucent.
[candice] so to get this super authentic jamaican flavour, we're using
[candice] cardamom, lots of cumin, allspice- why is it allspice when it's not all the spices?
[candice] it's only some of the spices.
[candice] mix that up until it's fragrant.
[candice] now we're going to add turmeric, thyme,
[candice] now we're going to add our scotch bonnet pepper,
[candice] this is totally optional, if you don't like spice, you could totally just leave this out.
[candice] but we love the spice!
[candice] once your spices are super super fragrant, you can add in your fake beef.
[candice] so just add that to your pan.
[candice] you can totally throw some all over the stove if you wanna feel like you're having a celebration.
[candice] add some vegetable broth- if you have access to a beef-like broth, this is really good with a beef-like broth.
[candice] and add some vegan worcestershire.
[candice] make sure that when you use it, it's vegan worcestershire.
[candice] they have some with anchovies and some without,
[candice] and then i have pureed tomatoes.
[candice] then we have some fresh parsley.
[candice] we're gonna mix that until it's combined, so we're going to let that simmer for 30 minutes.
[candice] when all your liquid's reduced, we're going to add our salt,
[candice] add pepper to taste, and then we're going to add 2 to 3 tablespoons of jamaican rum.
[candice] because you're stuffing the pastries with your hands, just set it aside until it cools,
[candice] so another 30 minutes or so until it's easy for you to handle.
[candice] then we're gonna stuff em in our pastries!
[candice] we are slowly but surely going to quickly roll this out.
[candice] i'm using a bowl cos it's the perfect width actually.
[candice] i'm just going to cut out circles.
[candice] so i'm gonna give this a little roll out just to make it a little bit bigger,
[candice] and now i'm going to use some almond milk and paint it on the outside of half of this thing.
[candice] and that's going to act like the glue that holds the two sides together.
[candice] and then i'm going to take the cooled meat that we have,
[candice] i would say about a quarter cup, then we're gonna put it like this and press down the sides.
[candice] then to make it look like a traditional jamaican patty, gonna use the fork.
[candice] and normally they would do an egg wash here, but i'm just going to do a little bit of almond milk.
[candice] we're going to keep doing this until we have a couple pans full of jamaican patties.
[candice] now we're going to put these guys into the oven at 400F for about 30 minutes.
[candice] and there you have it, vegan jamaican beef patties.
[candice] i haven't had jamaican beef patties since i was a kid.
[candice] this is amazing! it's so good, i know james is really gonna like these, i know you guys are really going to like them.

In this episode of The Edgy Veg Candice takes us all on a trip to Jamaica with her unique recipe for Vegan Jamaican Beef Patties. Get the Full Recipe: http://wp.me/p2x3lA-2Rg Buy the ingredients to make this: http://bit.ly/1XhLKRk According to Candice you simply cannot have a Jamaican Patty without the perfect flaky crust. Essentially you are using the same recipe you would for a pie crust. Add flour, quite a bit of salt, turmeric for color, and then mix all this together well to avoid lumps, sifting is a good option. Next you will put that into your mixing bowl and as it's mixing add in your vegan vegetable shortening and your vegan butter. You will keep adding and mixing until you get to the point where your mixture is just crumbs. You will now add some ice cold water until your crumbs become dough. Moving quickly you will want to make that dough into one big ball, wrap it in saran wrap and put it into the fridge for about an hour and a half. Now that you've got your dough under control it's time to get started on your vegan alternative to the regular meat filling. Candice took the high road with this part of the recipe and opted to make a beef style filling for her Jamaican patties. In case you don't know this is a difficult undertaking as ground beef is nearly impossible to properly emulate. The first step in the creation of your beef alternative is to heat up vegan butter in a frying pan until it's melted. Now add in about a half of a cup of chopped onions, some minced garlic, and finally some ginger. You will cook that, stirring it often for about 4 minutes. To get the authentic Jamaican flavor in the patties you will also season them with cardamom, cumin, and allspice. You will mix all of this up until it's quite fragrant. Then add turmeric, thyme, and a scotch bonnet pepper. Once all of this reaches a point where it's abundantly fragrant add in your fake beef. On top of the fake beef add some vegetable broth, some vegan Worcestershire, pureed tomatoes, and finally fresh parsley. You will mix this all together thoroughly and then let it simmer for 30 minutes. When all of the liquid is reduced add salt and pepper to taste, and last but not least 2 to 3 tbsp. of Jamaican rum. After that just set aside the whole mixture until it's cool enough for you to handle with your bare hands. Pull your dough out of the fridge and roll it flat with a rolling pin. Use a bowl to cut circles out of the dough and give them each a bit more rolling to flatten them out. Paint half of your circle dough on the edge with almond milk. This will act like the glue that holds the two edges together and seals your stuffing in. Now take a 1/4 cup of your meat mixture put it in the center of the circle, then fold it over and gently press down on the edges to seal the patty. Coat the outside of you Jamaican patty with Almond milk using a basting brush. Lastly, using a fork create that signature Jamaican Patty looking crust as seen in the video. Keep doing this until you have about 6 good looking Jamaican Patties. Put those on a baking pan in the oven at 400' for roughly 30 minutes. There you have it, Vegan Jamaican Patties from start to finish. Like what you see here?
