  2. 2 teaspoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 yellow onion, small dice
  5. 1 Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded, minced
  6. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1 pound ground pork
  8. 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  9. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  10. 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  11. 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  12. 2 dried bay leaves
  13. 1 tablespoon yellow curry powder, preferably Jamaican
  14. One 1-pound package frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  15. 2 cups Greek yogurt
  16. 1 lime, zested and juiced
  17. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  18. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the ginger, garlic, onion, Scotch bonnet pepper and some salt and pepper and cook until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground pork, breaking it up with a potato masher or wooden spoon into small pieces, and brown until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the thyme, paprika and allspice and allow to toast in the pan for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken stock and bay leaves and reduce to a simmer. Allow to cook until the liquid has reduced to a saucy consistency, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small sauté pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat until rippling. Add the curry and stir continuously for 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove to a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Roll out the sheets of phyllo dough and with the short end towards you, cut the sheets in half into 2 long strips. Working with 1 half sheet at a time, brush the entire thing lightly with the curry mixture. Fold the half sheet over on itself lengthwise. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the bottom right corner and roll it up like a football or flag. Place the triangle/football seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the filling is used up. Brush the tops with the remaining curry mixture. 
  5. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  6. To serve: In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lime zest and juice and parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve as a dipping sauce for the pork patties.
