Where to find ingredients
Find standard ingredients at local supermarkets. Calabresa sausage can be found at specialized delis or butchers; as a substitute, a smoked, semi-cured garlicky pork sausage may be used to mimic the flavor profile.

- Place the water, milk, bouillon cubes, ground calabresa, mashed potato, and butter in a large saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add all the flour at once into the boiling liquid.
- Stir vigorously until the dough pulls away completely from the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer the dough to a smooth surface that has been lightly greased.
- Knead the dough carefully and allow it to cool down.
- Divide the dough into small portions and flatten them out with your hands.
- Place an olive in the center of each portion.
- Seal the dough and shape it into the characteristic teardrop shape.
- Dip each unit into the beaten egg.
- Roll the units in the breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated.
- Deep fry in hot oil until they reach a golden brown color.
