Ingredients

- 2 tablespoon pickapeppa soy sauce
- one 14.5-ounce can chicken or beef stock
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon scotch bonnet pepper, minced
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground anise
- 1/4 cup carrot, diced
- 2 whole scallions, chopped
- 1/2 cup mango purée
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 3 slices fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoon salt
- 2 sheets puff pastry
Directions
- In a pan, sear and brown oxtail for 3-5 minutes.
- In a stewing pot, pour in chicken stock, Pickapeppa soy sauce, red wine, garlic, brown sugar, carrots, anise, mango purée, Scotch bonnet pepper, and ginger slices.
- Stir to mix the ingredients together.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- Add the seared oxtail to the pot. Put the lid on top and allow to cook on a low heat for 2-3 hours until tender. The meat should be fall-off-the-bone tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove oxtail from sauce. Debone the meat and chop roughly into small pieces, then stir into the sauce and set aside to cool.
- The oxtail filling is now ready to be put into the puff pastry circles.
- Preheat oven to 370 degrees F.
- Take pre-made puff pastry sheet and lay it on floured table or cutting board.
- Cut out 3-inch circles.
- Place a heaped tablespoon of the meat filling onto one side of the circle.
- Fold the circle in half and press a fork along the pastry’s edges to seal. Gently use fork to pierce top of pastry to allow steam to exit.
- Continue until all dough circles and filling are used up.
- Place in a single layer on baking sheet and brush with egg wash and cook in preheated oven till the pastries begin to become golden brown (about 20 minutes).
- Place patties on a platter and garnish with baby greens. Enjoy!!!
