No problem, but hang on, I have to find the book. It's not one I saved on my computer.

I think it was in Taste of the Caribbean written by a friend of mine. I can't find the book & she's not home now but I think my stores have some copies so I'll check tomorrow & post it then, if I don't find the book here. Hope you didn't need it tonight.

Ginger, I don't need it tonight at all, when you can.

OK, I'll check tomorrow.

I think this is what you had. I remember you liking them. Here they're called Pates but they are really our version of an empanada.
VIRGIN ISLAND SPICY MEAT PATES (16-20 appetizers)
Pastry:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled
1 tsp pepper
5 TBL cold water

Filling:
1 lb extra-lean ground beef
1 large onion, minced
1 large green bell pepper, minced
1/2 to 1 habanero pepper, seeded & minced
1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed green onion, minced
6 oz canned tomatoes, drained & chopped
4 TBL apple cider vinegar
1 tsp crushed oregano
1/2 tsp allspice
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup sharp grated Cheddar

Sift the flour, salt & pepper into a large bowl. Using 2 knives or a pastry cutter (I used a processor), cut the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form. Work in the water & chill in the refrigerator 1 hour.
In a large skillet, cook the meat, onion, garlic & peppers. Drain & rinse the meat in a collander using hot water. Most of the fat will run off, leaving the flavor.
Stir in breadcrumbs, olives, tomatoes, vinegar, herbs & spices.
Preheat oven to 425°. On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough & cut in 4" circles. Spoon filling into the centers, top with grated cheese & pinch shut with wet fingers.
Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet until golden, about 15 minutes.~~A Taste of the Caribbean

Let me know if this isn't it.

Yes Ginger that's it! A fabulous recipe. I've served it many times , the first was a "get to know each other" party for a cruise we where going on. Thanks again!

You're welcome!

This:
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed green onion, minced

Should be this:
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed green OLIVES, minced

OMG, could you just imagine trying to stuff pimentos into green onions. .....jes' keeding. :))

Ginger, you always come thru for us, whether on forums, or thru email. You da bomb! Thanks.

Thanks, but according to some here I'm just annoying. LOL

"Thanks, but according to some here I'm just annoying. LOL" Ginger I don't know what's up with that, you have given me a boatload of good recipes over the last few years and I appreciate it.

Thanks, Jim. I was just referring to something someone sent me a while back that I thought was funny. It obviously didn't keep me away from here.
No big deal.
