Sausage and Cheese Pastel Filling

Ingredients

300g grated Calabresa sausage
1 small onion, chopped
250g shredded or small diced mozzarella cheese
Oregano to taste

Where to find ingredients

Available at most supermarkets and butcher shops.
Found in the produce section of any grocery store.
Available in the dairy section of supermarkets.
Available in the spice aisle of supermarkets or in garden centers.

Method

  1. Place the grated Calabresa sausage and chopped onion in a frying pan
  2. Sauté the ingredients for a few moments until the onion wilts and the sausage lightly browns
  3. Drain all excess fat from the pan
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mozzarella
  5. Sprinkle oregano over the mixture and combine all ingredients well
  6. 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.
