Jamaican Beef Dumplings

Ingredients for Jamaican Beef Dumplings

• 80g finely chopped spring onion

• 40g finely chopped onion

• 3/4 teaspoons curry powder

• 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme

• 950ml vegetable oil, divided

• 230g beef mince

• 2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs

• Hot sauce (preferably Jamaican)

• About 30 dumpling or wonton wrappers

Cook spring onion, onion, curry powder, and thyme in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in beef and bread crumbs and cook until meat is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season with hot sauce. Cool.

Put a rounded teaspoon filling in centre of a wrapper. Lightly brush edge of wrapper with water, then fold in half (diagonally if square) and press to seal. Form remaining dumplings.

Heat 1 inch oil to 177°C in a 12-inch skillet. Fry dumplings in 3 batches, turning once or twice, until golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
