Equipment
- Oven
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef Cubes; or 1 lb ground beef
- ⅓ Cup Haitian Seasoning (Epis)
- ⅓ Cup Chopped Onions
- ½ tsp Saint-Marc Spice Blend
- Salt and Pepper To Taste; optional
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the filling. First, wash and pat dry the meat with a clean paper towel. In a food processor, add the meat, then add the epis seasoning including the Saint-Marc spice blend, and add the chopped onions. Blend well to combine. Set the meat aside. Cook the meat: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the meat. Be sure to break it down with a spoon or spatula.
- Adjust the seasoning if needed with salt, epis, etc. and continue cooking until just done. Do not allow the liquid to evaporate from the meat, if the meat becomes dry, add about ½ cup water and continue to cook. The meat should be “moist” but not “wet” to the point where it is saucy or dripping on the side of the dough. Before assembling the patties, allow the filling to cool down and set it aside.
- Assemble the patty: Roll out the dough. Cut the dough into even squares and desired size. Feel free to measure first for even cutting. Fill the dough with it with some of the filling. Add the other half of the dough on top of the filling and use a fork to seal in the seams.Bake until golden brown and flaky, about 15-18 minutes.
Notes
Pro Tips To Make These Patties
- I recommend rolling out the store-bought dough before cutting it to maximize the chances of having even pieces.
- Cut the dough into the desired size, but no more than 3 inches as the dough will puff up and expand.
- Best not to overcrowd the dough or add too much of the beef mixture, as it will cause the pastry to open while baking.
- Properly secure the edges. Feel free to use an egg wash if desired to seal the seams.
- The Haitian patties can be prepared using ground pork, beef, chicken, or turkey, according on your preference. Additionally, it can be prepared using fish, most commonly cod. It is always flaky, but it might have a peppery flavor (if desired).

Refrigerate: Any leftover patties should be stored in an airtight container whenever they are not being used. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days without going bad. Freezer: In order to avoid freezer burn, it is important to keep any remaining patties in a baggie that is both airtight and flat. When stored in the freezer, they can be kept for up to one month. Reheating: If there are any patties left over, it is strongly suggested that they be reheated in the oven in order to achieve the best possible flavor and texture overall. I recommend that the patties be reheated in the oven at a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit for ten to fifteen minutes, or until they are completely warmed through. Reheat frozen patties for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until they are completely warmed through.More Haitian Food Recipes You’ll Love
