Where to find ingredients
You can find linguiça calabresa in the refrigerated meat section of specialty international grocery stores or Mediterranean markets. If unavailable, a mild, dry-cured Spanish chorizo or a smoked sausage can serve as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the grated linguiça calabresa and diced onion into a pan.
- Sauté the ingredients over medium heat until the onion has softened and the sausage is well-browned.
- Drain away any excess fat 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 incorporating it into your recipes.
Observations
This is a versatile filling, perfect for pizzas, savoury hand pies, or baked tarts. The secret to achieving the best results is ensuring the mixture is thoroughly dry and cooled completely before using it to fill your dough.
