About

In Caribbean cooking, patties are usually stuffed pastries, but this particular recipe is for an Indian-style shepherd’s pie patty that is more like a fritter. You can substitute red lentils or minced seitan for the textured vegetable protein and the flavor will still be good. And if you can’t find callaloo, a green, leafy vegetable grown in the Caribbean, you can substitute spinach or another leafy green.
