Welcome back to my kitchen; today we are making Jamaican veggie patties.

Gather your ingredients: sifted flour, mixed vegetables (carrot, cabbage, bell pepper, onion), salt, and turmeric.

In a bowl, mix the sifted flour, a little salt, and turmeric (add depending on desired color).

Cut the butter into small pieces and mix it into the flour mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture.

Add water gradually to the mixture, using a spoon to combine until it forms a dough.

Roll the dough into a ball shape, wrap it in cling wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

While the dough chills, heat a pan over medium to high temperature and add chopped onion.

Add garlic and ginger paste to the pan, allowing it to soften without burning.

Add minced scotch bonnet pepper (optional) and mixed vegetables (carrot, cabbage, bell pepper) to the pan.

Season the mixture with vegetable seasoning and garlic pepper, adjusting to taste. Cover and let soften.

Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool down.

After 1 hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into 4 portions.

Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

Brush water around the edges of the dough circle, add filling in the center, and fold it over.

Crimp the edges with a fork and pierce the center with a fork.

Brush the top with a little butter and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Repeat for remaining portions and place all patties on the baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the patties are crisp and golden brown.
