For the Chicken Chorizo Puff Pastry Rolls:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan). Unroll the pastry and slice in half lengthways.

  320 g (11.3 oz) pack ready-rolled puff pastry

• Spoon the reserved chicken-chorizo sauce down the middle of the two lengths of pastry (see image in post). Brush the edges with egg wash and fold the pastry over, so the edges meet. Use a fork to press down the edges.

  1 egg

• Brush the tops of the two rolls of pastry with egg wash, then slice each roll into 9 or 10 pieces. Sprinkle with the black sesame seeds and transfer the pastry pieces to a large, non-stick baking sheet - leaving at least 1/2 an inch of space between each pastry.

  1 tsp black sesame seeds

• Place in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown.

• Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes (or completely if preferred), and serve.

**NOTE - this recipe makes enough sauce for four portions of pasta and 18-20 pastry puffs. If you only want to make the pastry puffs use one-quarter of the Chicken Chorizo Pasta Sauce ingredients (or alternatively, you can multiple the pastry by 4 and make 72-80 pastry puffs).
