Bison Jamaican Patties

Directions

• Prepare the pastry: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt, sugar, curry powder, and turmeric together. Add half the amount of butter (being sure to reserve 1/2 cup) and shortening. Pinch it into the dry mixture using your hands until little pea-sized bits form throughout.
• Add water and combine everything to form a smooth dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add avocado oil. Once the oil becomes shimmery, add the ground bison and stir. Add the spices, onions, garlic, pepper, soy sauce and water and cook until the meat begins to brown – about 10-12 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and combine. Remove from the heat.
• Remove half the meat mixture from the pan, and blend in a food processor, just until smooth (tip: add a few tablespoons of water or broth if the mixture is too dry).
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, and roll out onto a flat surface. Place half of the reserved butter onto the dough and fold onto itself. Roll flat again and continue this process with the remaining butter. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Taking one portion at a time, roll out flat, and place 3-4 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto one half of the rolled out dough. Fold the empty side over the meat mixture and crimp edges down with a fork.
• Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes until golden browned.
