Stir in the scotch bonnet pepper, ground allspice, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Fill Patties
Place a tablespoon of the cooled filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
