Vegetarian-Meat Jamaican Patties
Vegetarian Jamaican Patties
I adapted this recipe to be vegetarian. I wanted a tasty lunch dish I could carry in my lunch box with an ice pack and that would keep in the fridge for the week. I like to prepare my lunches on Sundays for the week. These keep longer than meat in the fridge for the work week. I like the taste and texture of Yves veggie cuisine "meat."
