Callaloo & cheese patty

 Juici...and if you don't know, now you know!
 

Patty number two and it’s all about the veggies. Since I already had the callaloo for the crust, why not use it as a filling as well? This patty combines veggies with some delicious cheese for a very vegetarian friendly lunch and snack.

Just leave it to someone on instagram to inspire a month of recipes. Inspiration comes in many forms and by chance I came across @mrcuttersnyc image of a restaurant kitchen work table lined off with what seemed like hundreds of patties in the making. I was so intrigued, intrigued enough to come up with eight patty recipes, four weeks of awesomeness. And this first one is super Jamaican!

Breakfast is served

There is no way I could have done a month of breakfast recipes and not ventured into ackee and salt fish territory; After all its Jamaica’s national dish and for good reason. In our household it is prepared for breakfast once a week, either Friday or Saturday mornings. I have a cousin who is so in love with ackee she could eat it every day. However I feel like ackee and fried dumpling is a special breakfast, and having it every week makes it not as special. So in an attempt to not take this meal for granted, most times when it is prepared I don’t eat it, I have an omelet instead and wait about three weeks so when I do have it, its extra delicious.
