We eat our Jamaican patties with coco bread around here, in Brooklyn. I’m surprised no one mentioned the coco bread. They soft sweet bread balances out the spicy patty.

[...] I won’t be holding a potluck myself this Labor Day. The campaign happens to fall on the annual West Indian American Pride parade, which makes traveling in my neighborhood in Brooklyn a little challenging, though fun. (Last year, I was so tempted to dig into all that spicy street food that I forged my own take on vegetarian Jamaican patties.) [...]

I’ve never given this a try, but I think it’s about time I do.

Am I missing something? The quick calculator in my head says these are only about a third of the published total price.

I’m guessing these are about 2″ x 3″ x 1″ or so in size?

Technically the Worcestershire being made with anchovies makes these not vegetarian but Vegetable Patties. I’m just going to use Tamari sauce instead. They look and sound yummy and remind me of the summer I spent with a Guyanese family which is when my idea of food blossomed just in time to coincide with the internet and blogging.

When I do finally visit NYC I think I’ve finally decided the date will coincide with this festival. Thanks for reminding me of a great time in my life and sharing this fun recipe.

My boyfriend and I just made these for his family and they turned out great. We doubled the amount of filling but found we had to quadruple the amount of pastry in order to make 11 patties.

I went to the parade too! Completely by accident, visiting from out of state and oblivious to local events, I came out of the Crown Heights subway station right in the middle of everything. Awesome.

Any chance you have an interest in making Trinidadian doubles (and then teaching the rest of us how to do it)? I had em for the first time last week, and now I’m back home in California pining away for lack of them….

Brilliant! Reminds me of Argentine empanadas, Brazilian pasteis, Chinese dumpling, Indian samosa…is there a culture in the world that doesn’t fill dough with savory goodness? Thanks for creating this recipe and sharing it with us. I hope to try it soon.
Peace,
