Where to find ingredients
You can find calabresa sausage at specialty deli counters or large supermarkets in the frozen or processed meat sections. If unavailable, a smoked garlic or spicy chorizo sausage makes a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the grated calabresa sausage and the chopped onion in a frying pan.
- Sauté the ingredients over medium heat until the onion is softened and the sausage is deeply browned.
- Carefully drain any excess oil that accumulates at the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and stir well to combine.
- Allow the filling to cool down completely before using it in your recipes.
Observations
This is a highly versatile filling, perfect for pizzas, baked pastries, or savory pies. The secret to achieving the best texture is to ensure the mixture is well-drained and completely cool before you assemble it into your pastry or dough.
