1 Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the shallots and garlic
until soft. Add the chestnut mushrooms first and cook until soft,
then add the rest of the mushrooms, the cranberries, nuts and port.
Bring to the boil, then lower heat and simmer for 5-10 mins to
reduce the port. Add the butter, remove from heat and drain for as
long as possible, or the juices will make the pastry soggy.

2 Roll out pastry., then cut into 6 rectangles, approx 20 x 15 cm
each. Place a spoonful of cheese on one half of each piece of pastry,
then some mushroom mixture. Fold the other half over the top and
pinch the edges together to make a parcel. You can make these a day
ahead and keep in the fridge covered with cling film or freeze for 6
week Thaw in the fudge overnight

TO SERVE Heat oven to 200 °C/fan180 °C/gas 6. Brush the parcels with
the egg, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30-40 mins until
the pastry is golden. Warm the Cumberland sauce in a pan. Serve each parcel with a spoonful of the sauce on top and pass round the rest for guests to help themselves. Serve with Buttered sprouts.
