Jamaican Vegetable Patties image

This recipe is from Vegetarian Times.. To speed up preparation, use pre-grated carrots, available in most supermarkets. You can make fresh breadcrumbs by trimming and discarding crusts from firm, fresh sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and whirl in a food processor or blender until crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/2 cup. The salsa can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept in the refrigerator.

These patties were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm allergic to onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The patties still turned out great!

I used a different brand of curry powder than the recipe called for and the patties had a weird taste. I would recommend using the brand that the recipe specifies.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my patties didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like mush.

I followed the recipe exactly and the patties turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the filling was moist and flavorful.

These patties were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best vegetable patties he's ever had.

I'm not usually a fan of vegetable patties, but these were surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the patties were nice and crispy.
