- Sauté over medium heat until the onions are tender and the sausage is deeply browned.
- Drain any excess fat that has rendered in the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and stir well to combine.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before using it in your recipes.
Observations
A versatile filling perfect for pizzas, baked appetizers, or savory pies. The secret to the perfect result is ensuring the mixture is well-drained and completely cool before adding it to your dough or crust.
