Vegan Jamaican Ackee Patties

Posted on May 29, 2017 by Chantal

How to make a great Jamaican patty?

Let’s talk the anatomy of a “propa” (proper) patty.

The crust: gorgeous and flaky, not too thick and shouldn’t be dry and crumbly
The filling: not pasty, must be well seasoned with a good balance of herbs, spices and heat.
The crust to filling ratio: Don’t be stingy now. No potato chip bag tricks (all air no chips). Or as we say in Jamaica it shouldn’t look like “yu tan far and fling it”. (Translation: you stood at a distance and threw in the filling)

These in my opinion are the three keys to making a propa Jamaican patty; that said let’s talk about these Vegan Ackee Patties that hit all three of those nails squarely on the head.

These Asian inspired bowls feature not one but three ancient grains; a colourful array of veggies; spicy chicken, shrimp or brussel sprouts (to suit the omnivore, pescatarian and vegan/vegetarian alike); and a creamy ackee tahini dressing. Umami bombs in every bite, you’ll definitely want to give this bowl of goodness a try!
