Jamaican Patties

The Jamaican patty is the island's most popular street food, a flaky, golden half-moon pastry encasing a spiced meat filling. The distinctive yellow crust gets its color from turmeric and curry powder, with its flakiness from a cold-butter pastry method. The filling is a fragrant mixture of seasoned ground beef with curry powder, scotch bonnet, and thyme that has been slowly cooked down until rich and concentrated.
