Chorizo Pasty Ingredients

- 2 x 320g packs of Jus-Rol Puff Pastry Ready Rolled Sheets
- 2 tbs plain flour – for lightly dusting the surface whilst cutting out the pasty shapes, to stop the pastry sticking.
- 1/2 tbs olive oil
- 1 yellow pepper – deseeded and diced
- 1 small red onion – diced
- 100g tomato chutney – I just use a jar of store bought chutney
- 50g chorizo – diced – I buy the chorizo ready diced in little packs
- 50g Manchego cheese – grated, now Manchego does add to the Spanish vibe of these pasties but if you can’t find it just use Cheddar.
- 1 egg – beaten
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbs sesame seeds – optional I just like them sprinkled on top of the pastry, you could use poppy seeds or skip them altogether.
How to make our chorizo pasty recipe

Now I know this looks like lots of steps but honestly they’re all super easy, there’s nothing hard or tricky.
- First up – take your pastry sheets out of the fridge and leave them at room temperature for around 20 minutes before use.
- Next, preheat the oven to 200C
- Next add a splash of olive oil to a pan and gently fry the onions and peppers for around 10 minutes to soften them.

- Unroll your pastry sheets and place them on a lightly floured surface so they don’t stick.
- Cut out pastry circles – you should be able to cut out 5 circles of around 4 inch diameter and have some pastry scraps left over for decoration. Either use a pastry cutter or a cut around a saucer to make the pasties.
- Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Next fill the pasties

- Only add the filling to one half of the pasty and be sure to leave a gap around the edge for sealing the pasties together.
- Add a dollop of chutney, spread it around the pastry a little, then add the fried onions and peppers, the diced chorizo, the Manchego cheese and a little pinch of the smoked paprika and dried oregano sprinkled over the filling.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with a little beaten egg and fold over.

- Seal the pasties together by crimping the edges of the pastry together with a fork. Pressing both sides of the pastry into each other.
- Put the pastries onto the baking paper lined baking sheets and brush with beaten egg – decorate the top with little cut out stars if you like. Then sprinkle over a pinch of sesame seeds and a little pinch of smoked paprika.
- Bake the pastries in the oven at 200C for around 30-35 minutes or until golden brown, puffed up and piping hot throughout.
- Once cooked remove the pastries from the oven and leave to cool slightly on a wire rack.
