Method

Step 1 of 4

Cut kernels from cob. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, capsicum and corn, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion has softened. Add paste and chilli powder, then cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add beans and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until heated through. Remove pan from heat.

Step 2 of 4

Using back of a fork, roughly mash mixture until almost smooth. Add tomato, zest and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Season.

Step 3 of 4

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Using an 11cm-round cutter, cut 4 rounds from each pastry sheet. Place 1 1/2 tbs bean mixture on one half of each round. Brush edges with a little egg. Fold to enclose filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Place on trays.

Step 4 of 4

Brush tops with egg. Sprinkle over extra chilli powder, then bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden. Stand on trays for 10 minutes to cool. Serve with tomato salsa.
