• 250 g 9 oz silverskin pickled onions

• In a clean bowl, grate the cheese and stir in the chutney, parsley, onions, cooled wedges and a little salt and pepper.
• Unroll the pastry and using an upturned cereal bowl, cut out eight circles.
• Put a generous spoonful of mixture in the center of each of the circles then pinch together at the top to form pasties.
