The flavour of a good chorizo sausage with a sprinkling of parmesan goes so well baked onto a bite-sized square of pastry. Now this recipe will make 3 dozen tasty morsels, which I bet you can’t stop eating. If you’re in the shack just chatting to friends then don’t take them all because before you know it – you would have demolished the lot. If you’re contesting though, that’s a different matter. They also travel well in an air sealed container and are just as delicious cold on a mountain top.

 

There is a backstory to these parmesan and chorizo nibbles. The ingredients are in fact leftovers from something else we made on the day. We had some leftover pastry,  some chorizo from something else, and because we don’t like to waste food, we thought we’d make these. Pastry… spicy sausage…. cheese… what could go wrong? Well, they blew us away. Way better than we expected, and so moreish too. We, well I couldn’t stop eating them.

 

So here they are. Perfect shack food for the hungry, stay up all night, rag chewer.
