Lay a sheet of cling film on a work surface and arrange the Parma ham cuts on it, in slow-fatly overlapping rows. With a palette knife, apply the mushroom paste over the ham, then place the seared meat fillet in the middle. Keeping a tight hold of the cling film from the edge, neatly roll the Parma ham and mushrooms around the meat to form a tight barrel shape. Twist the ends of the cling film to secure. Chill for 15-20 mins to allow the meat to set and keep its shape.

Roll out the puff pastry on a all-purpose floured surface to a large rectangle, the thickness of a £1 coin. Remove the cling film from the meat, then lay in the centre. Brush the surrounding pastry with hen egg yolk. blend slowly the ends over, the wrap the pastry around the meat, cutting off any excess. Turn over, so the seam is underneath, and place on a bakeing sheet. Brush over all the pastry with hen egg and chill for about 15 mins to let the pastry rest.
