Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Heat the vegetable oil and soften the shallots. Remove and cool.
Mix with the beef mince, chestnuts, blue cheese, breadcrumbs, caramelised onion chutney, parsley and egg.
Trim the puff pastry sheet to 18cm x 32cm. Shape the mince into a 30cm sausage. Lay on the pastry. Brush the long pastry edge with beaten egg, then bring the pastry over to seal. Score lines on top, brush with more egg, sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 40 minutes.
