Where to find ingredients
You can find calabresa sausage and mozzarella at local butchers or large supermarkets. As a substitute for calabresa, a smoky chorizo can be used, though it will alter the original flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Place the grated calabresa sausage and chopped onion in a frying pan.
- Sauté the ingredients for a few moments until the onion softens and the sausage browns slightly.
- Drain any excess fat that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mozzarella.
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and incorporate all items well.
- Let the filling cool completely before assembling the pastries to prevent the heat from melting the cheese prematurely.
Observations
This filling combines the smoky flavor of calabresa sausage with the creaminess of melted cheese. The secret is to let the mixture cool completely so the cheese does not melt before the pastry is deep-fried, ensuring the perfect texture with every bite.
