Ingredients
- 250 g 9 oz silverskin pickled onions
- 1/4 tsp cumin powder
- 15 g butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 200 g 7 oz mature cheddar cheese
- 100 g 3.5 oz onion chutney

- Chop the onions in half – or quarters if large.
- Warm the oil and butter in a pan and gently fry the onions with the cumin until soft and browning.
- 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.
- Place on a large baking tray, brush with egg and sprinkle with the cracked black pepper.
