Serves 4
-
4 slices from a large black pudding
-
2 Cox's apples
-
250g ready made puff pastry
-
1 large onion
-
Oil
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 200C (400F, Gas mark 6).
Slice the onion, season and fry gently in a little oil until completely soft. Set aside. Cut the pastry into 4 equal pieces and roll out into 4 rectangles roughly 12cm square.
Remove any skin from the black pudding and fry briskly in a little oil on both sides. (There is no need to cook it fully at this stage).
Peel, quarter and core the apples and cut each quarter into 3 slices. Fry them briefly to colour them a little to prevent them browning. Place a spoonful of the onion onto each pastry square, put a slice of black pudding on top of the onion and top with some slices of apple.
Fold the 4 corners of the pastry over the parcel and place them on a baking sheet. Brush the exposed pastry with a little egg wash or milk and bake in the oven until the pastry is puffed and golden - about 15-20 minutes.
