  • About

Meat patties, or particularly beef patties, are largely credited to Jamaica, but they are made in Trinidad as well using a particular mix of local spices. Annatto, locally called ruku, gives the pastry its deep yellow color, and green seasoning with curry gives these patties a totally Trini taste. They can be made with ground chicken, turkey, or beef.
