HAITIAN CHICKEN PâTé PUFFS
These are the equivalent of Jamaican Patties, in that they are most always served for all occasions. :) Raather than the more traditional pâté, a spicy & tasty chicken picadillo is made and then whirred up for a filling in these first-course puff-pastry packets. The filling is then sealed in the dough and baked. It's highly spiced for sure but also very aromatic, a nice start to any meal.;) Cooking Light Magazine, May 2010 edition. My nurse, Babara, who is now retiring - goes by the Haitian bakery on week-ends and picks up some patties and some fresh bread; then brings them in with whatever else she could find! They are marvelous and bring back many, many wonderful memories of me when I was juat 18 years old.:)

- 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.
- Add green onions and next 6 ingredients (through nutmeg); stir well. Remove from heat; cool mixture to room temperature.
- Place cooled chicken mixture in a food processor; process until almost smooth (mixture will begin to clump).
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Roll puff pastry into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
