Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C Fan, Gas Mark 6.
Step 2
Put the olive oil in a pan and cook the red onion over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until golden. Transfer into a bowl and set aside to cool.
Step 3
Put 150g shredded pulled pork into a food processor with the cheese, parsley and the reserved onion. Season well. Whizz the mixture together.
Step 4
Lightly flour a clean worksurface and roll out the prepared puff pastry until it measures 28cm x 25cm. Cut down the middle to make two rectangles, each measuring 28cm x 12.5cm. Divide the pork mixture in half and spoon it in a long sausage along the middle of each.
Step 5
Brush beaten egg round the edge of each one. Roll the pastry over the top and seal the sides where the pastry meets with a fork. Trim the ends, then cut each in half and slash twice.
Step 6
Brush again with beaten egg then sprinkle over the caraway seeds. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.
