Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Fry the finely chopped onion and the finely chopped scotch bonnet chilli in a little oil for 5 minutes until softened.
- 2
Add the beef mince, jamaican curry powder and ground turmeric, and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the mince, until no pink remains. Leave to cool slightly.
- 3
Roll out the shortcrust pastry and cut into 4 large circles. Spoon the beef mixture onto one half of each circle, fold over and seal the edges with a fork.
- 4
Put the patties on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
- 5
Toss the shredded cabbage and grated carrot with a little mayonnaise to make the coleslaw, and serve alongside the hot patties.
