Jamaican Meat Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced and seeded scotch bonnet peppers or 1/2 teaspoon habanero pepper
4 teaspoons Madras curry powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dried breadcrumbs
3/4 cup chicken broth
8 frozen discos, thawed (I use Goya brand)
1 large egg, beaten

Preparation

Mix beef, onion, garlic, and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef mixture and cook, breaking up chunks of meat, until beef is no longer pink.
Add curry powder, thyme, allspice and salt; cook, stirring, 1 minute for flavors to blend. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, then broth; stir until simmering. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook 5 to 7 minutes until liquid has almost evaporated. Set aside to cool.
Heat oven to 400\u00b0F Coat baking sheet(s) with nonstick spray.
Place a large spoonful of meat mixture on1 side of each disc of dough, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. Moisten edges with water. Fold in half. Press edges with fork to seal. Transfer patties to baking sheet(s). Brush lightly with beaten egg.
Bake 15 minutes or until barely golden.
