Method
- Place the grated Calabresa sausage and chopped onion in a frying pan
- Sauté the ingredients for a few moments until the onion wilts and the sausage lightly browns
- Drain all excess fat from the pan
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mozzarella
- Sprinkle oregano over the mixture and combine all ingredients well
- Let the filling cool completely before assembling the pastéis to prevent the heat from melting the cheese prematurely
Notes
This filling combines the smoky flavor of the sausage with the creaminess of melted cheese. The secret is to let the mixture cool so the cheese doesn't melt completely before frying, ensuring the perfect texture when you bite into the pastel.
