Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Divide the chorizo stew between the pastry rectangles, leaving a 2cm border. Beat the egg with the paprika and brush the edges of the pastry. Bring 2 opposite corners up and seal together, using a cocktail stick to secure, then transfer to a lined baking tray and brush the tops with egg. Repeat with all the pastry rectangles, then bake for 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, mix together the dressing ingredients. Remove the cocktail sticks from the chorizo parcels; serve alongside the watercress, scattered with the crumbled salad cheese and drizzled with the dressing.
