Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and carrot cook for 10 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and sage and cook for 1 min.   

  2. Add the stuffing or chipolatas, chicken and cranberry sauce to the pan. Pour in the stock and simmer for 3-5 mins until reduced. 

  3. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface. Use a saucer to cut out 10 circles, about 12cm wide. Divide the chicken and stuffing mixture between the pastry, placing on one side of each circle. Dampen the edges of pastry with a little water, fold the pastry over, seal and crimp.  

  4. Brush with egg wash and bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown. Remove and serve. These can be eaten hot or cold.
