Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Place the grated calabresa sausage and diced onion in a skillet.
- Sauté the ingredients over medium heat until the onion is tender and the sausage is well-browned.
- Drain any excess fat that has rendered at 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 that works beautifully in pizzas, savory pastries, or savory pies. The secret to achieving the perfect texture is to ensure the mixture is well-drained and completely cooled before placing it onto the dough.
