Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a pan over a low heat. Add the onion and leeks and gently fry for 10-15 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool.
  2. Remove the meat from the sausages and put in a bowl with the herbs. Mix well and shape into 4 balls.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6. On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 32cm square, then cut into 4 equal pieces. Divide the onion mixture among the squares and top each with a sausagemeat ball. Flatten slightly, then fold the pastry corners up to enclose the filling. Brush with milk, then chill for 10 minutes.
