Jamaican Patties

Recipe by: winstono2005

Be the first to review it!

I just love Patties and here's a traditional recipe that beats the commercial stuff you buy from most West Indian takeaways or the stuff you buy in packets that gives you next to no amount of meat. This recipe depends on the amount of heat that you like. I personally would add 5 scotch bonnet peppers to my mixture but typically you should add 1 -2 scotch bonnet peppers.
