[[Julia's]] fabulous Bulgarian lamb in pastry inspired me to create a similar dish using pork fillet, this is it.

I am too lazy to make pasty and could only buy pre-made [[Puff pastry|puff pastry]], otherwise I would probably have made these with [[Shortcrust pastry|shortcrust pastry]] by preference, next week maybe!

===Chef's notes===
Next time I make this I will mince the pork, pre-cook by frying it with the onions etc, then mix the herbs and just a little butter, cover in pastry and then bake as before.
