Equipment

Ingredients

For The Filling

  • 1 20-ounce can ackee, drained
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper
  • 1 green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 sprig
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper or Scotch bonnet pepper
  • salt to taste

For The Crust

Instructions

To Make The Filling

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions and cook stirring occasionally until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, and bell pepper, and cook for another minute. Add spring onions, and thyme and cook stirring for 1 minute.
  • Add ackee to the skillet with salt and pepper stirring gently to coat with seasonings.
  • Cover skillet and reduce to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

To Make The Crust

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or grease with oil. Set aside.
  • Mix Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (I used Krusteaz brand) in a bowl, add almond flour (or corn flour), ground flaxseeds, curry powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, and mix well.
  • Cut in vegan butter (I used Earth Balance brand) in the flour, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the dough is crumbly and looks like bread crumbs. Add cold water and mix to form a dough ball; the dough will be much wetter than you are used to, but don't be an alarm. Cover the bowl and transfer to the refrigerator for 10 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or grease with oil. Set aside
  • Remove the bowl from the refrigerator, and divide the dough into eight or nine pieces. Using an extra sheet of parchment paper roll out each piece of dough into a 4-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Add about one heaping tablespoon or more of cooked ackee in the center of the dough.
  • Fold half the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shape, then press the edges; the edges should easily stick together. Using the tines of a fork, press the edges to seal. I'd like you to please repeat until all the dough balls are filled.
  • Transfer patties onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
