Olive oil offers heart-healthy fats.

Heat oil in a frying pan.

Add chopped tomatoes, scallion, and bell peppers to the hot oil and stir.

Sauté the mixture for a little while.

Add the rinsed callaloo to the pan.

Sprinkle thyme, salt, and black pepper over the callaloo and gently stir.

Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.

Roll out the flaky patty dough on a slightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Cut the rolled dough into circles using a plate and knife.

Place a spoonful of the callaloo filling on one half of each circle.

Fold over the top flap and press it in with fingers.

Use a fork to crimp the edges all the way around.

Poke a hole in the center of each patty to allow air to escape.

Place the patties on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them as they don't change much in color.
