How to Make Easy Vegetarian-Meat Jamaican Patties
I enjoy baking my own breads and treats for my family on the weekend as a healthier and tastier alternative to store-bought options.
My vegetarian Jamaican patties are easy to eat while on the go.
My Phone
I wanted a tasty lunch dish that I could carry in my lunch box with an ice pack and that would keep in the fridge for my whole work week. Since I like to prepare my lunches for the week on Sunday night, I adapted this recipe to be vegetarian. The fake meat allows them to keep longer than real meat patties in the fridge. I like the taste and texture of Yves Veggie Cuisine's "meat."
