THIS IS "Vegan Group Travel for the Culture"!!!

Allow myself to introduce, myself 😂... I am Lesley Hope; a NYC based travel advisor, foodie and vegan!🗽✈️🌱 I curated these luxury vegan experiences because I was tired of the terrible vegan options I came across during my travels (if any at all). I mean, they act like including Beyond burger on the menu is a gift. 😒 *kisses teeth* And, most vegan retreats I came across, focused heavily on yoga/ meditation 🧘🏾‍♀️...although I appreciate physical fitness, it's not my vibe so I created these vegan food-focused luxury experiences. ✨💚👌🏾

This year, we are headed to 🇨🇷Costa Rica, 🇲🇽Playa del Carmen (Mexico), & 🇯🇲Jamaica!

All trips include all-inclusive gourmet vegan meals, an excursion (or 2) and an immersive vegan food experience (think cooking class). I'm all about connecting food and local culture!

I'm on a mission to expand vegan inclusivity in tourism, it's 2023... 🗣️burgers and salads should not be the only options!

Please believe, these trips are NOT just for vegans. If you are not a vegan, no one is going to try to convert you 😆 (at least not me)! We welcome anyone open to eating plant-based for the duration of the trip. 🙌🏾🌱😋

The dough should be sticky but not too sticky.
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp curry powder
1/4 cup cold shortening
1/2 cup ice cold unsalted butter diced into cubes
1 1/2 cup or less water See notes
Beef Filling
1.5 lb ground beef 85% Lean or less
1/2 tsp Better Than Bouillon Base
1/4 cup water
Salt for taste
Pepper for taste
1 1/4 tsp minced, habanero or scotch bonnet is fine
1 tbsp vegetable oil or more if needed
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 small pinch cayenne pepper
4 small pinches smoked paprika

Instructions

Keep blending in the butter it resembles the size of small peas. Add the water and stir until flour turns into a ball. Form a ball of dough using your hands. The dough should be sticky but not too sticky.
Place the dough into a large glass bowl and dust lightly with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Cut the pastry into 8 equal parts. Flatten into a 6 inch circle. Use a bowl to make perfect round circles.
Beef Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of o vegetable oil. Saute the onions until softened about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant. Set stove to medium-high heat.

Add ground beef, peppers, soy sauce and all the seasonings. Using a wooden spoon chop up the beef as the beef cooks. Alternatively, you can cook the beef first then drain then add the seasonings if you like.

Make sure the beef isn't chunky. No big chunks of beef allowed. Cook until browned. Drain most of the liquid from the meat leaving about two tablespoons of fat in the skillet. Return skillet to the stove and add water let it come to a quick boil add the beef base mix well then add flour. Mix well. The mixture should be a bit moist.

Let the beef cool for about 30 minutes.

Add equal amounts of the beef filling to the half side of each circle of dough, leaving some room free around the edges. Brush egg wash around the edges of the flattened dough. (This will help seal the dough) Fold and seal using a fork to crimp the edges.

You can use a butter knife and gently press the ends of the crimped dough to make it look neat. Poke a couple holes into the top of the patty. Add them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

It's always a good time for a Jamaican Patty. Have you tried your own home-recipe? Don't forget curry and dried thyme for authentic Jamaican flair.
