Jamaican Beef Patties

Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil 
½  yellow onion, finely chopped 
4  scallion, finely chopped 
1 clove garlic 
1 tablespoon freshly picked thyme 
1 scotch bonnet, seeded and finely chopped 
¾  pound ground beef 
1 tablespoon curry powder 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1 tablespoon tomato paste 
½ cup water 
1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry 
Egg Wash 
1 egg, for egg wash 
1 tablespoon water 
2 teaspoons curry powder 

Directions
Heat canola oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook your onion, garlic, scallion, and scotch bonnet until brown and tender, about 5 minutes; stirring occasionally. Add the ground beef and brown evenly in the pan by moving the beef around with wooden spoon, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the water and deglaze the pan and reduce heat to low to simmer, about 10 minutes to thicken. 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

In a small bowl, whisk the together the egg, water, and curry powder. 

On a floured surface, unfold the puff pastry and cut into 3-inch rounds. Fill each with 1 heaping tablespoon of filling. Fold in half and crimp the edges shut using a fork. 

Place patties onto a prepared baking sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg mixture and bake until golden in color, about 15 to 20 minutes.
