This recipe is part of our Good Square Meal campaign in collaboration with FareShare, the UK’s biggest food waste charity, to fund the distribution of up to 250,000 meals to children who need them most.

As part of the campaign, we’ve collaborated with baby weaning expert Shikha Gill, founder of My Little Food Critic, to create recipes based on Britain’s favourite regional delicacies.

Create weaning friendly Cornish pasties which are brimming with some much flavour and don’t take long at all to whip up. They are great for a little snack and also freeze really well.
