Ingredients

1 habanero pepper or scotch bonnet pepper

cooking spray

1/4 cup yellow onion chopped

2 teaspoon garlic minced

1/2 lb ground chicken breast

1/4 cup carrot shredded

2 teaspoon tomato paste

2 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon Cider Vinegar

1 tablespoon green onion chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped

1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly grounded

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/8 teaspoon whole nutmeg grated

14 oz frozen puff pastry thawed

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water


Directions

1. Cut habanero in half. Seed one half of pepper, and leave seeds in other half. Mince both pepper halves. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add minced habanero, onion, and garlic to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. 2 Add chicken; cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add carrot; cook 2 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add lime juice and vinegar, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. 3 Add green onions and next 6 ingredients (through nutmeg); stir well. Remove from heat; cool mixture to room temperature. 4 Place cooled chicken mixture in a food processor; process until almost smooth (mixture will begin to clump). 5 Preheat oven to 400°F. 6 Roll puff pastry into a 15 x 12–inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. 7 Cut puff pastry into 20 (3-inch) squares. Combine egg and water, stirring with a whisk. Brush egg mixture along edges of pastry squares; spoon about 1 scant tablespoon filling in center of each pastry square. 8 Fold each pastry square in half; press edges closed with tines of a fork. 9 Brush top with egg wash; arrange 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. 10 Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
