Easy Gorgonzola and Walnut Pastel Filling

1 tablespoon olive oil
200g crumbled gorgonzola cheese
100g chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Gorgonzola cheese can be found in the refrigerated cheese sections or deli counters of major Nigerian supermarkets and premium grocery stores in cities like Lagos or Abuja. Look for imported blue cheese varieties if specific Gorgonzola is unavailable. Walnuts are widely available in Nigerian local markets, often found in the dry food and nut sections, or in the snack aisles of modern retail supermarkets.

This gorgonzola and walnut filling is a sophisticated, flavour-packed choice if you're looking to switch up your usual snack game. The combination of blue cheese—with its signature sharp, slightly tangy kick—and the crunch of toasted walnuts creates a perfectly balanced filling. Whether you are hosting a get-together, preparing a quick treat, or just want to level up your homemade pastel, this recipe is straightforward to whip up and tastes truly special.
