Where to find ingredients
You can find calabresa sausage at specialized delis or international grocery stores. If unavailable, a high-quality smoked chorizo or a coarse-ground smoked pork sausage can serve as a suitable substitute. Onions and dried oregano are standard pantry items available at any supermarket produce or spice aisle.
Preparation method
- Place the grated calabresa sausage and the diced onion into a frying pan.
- Sauté the ingredients over medium heat until the onion has softened and the sausage is nicely browned.
- Carefully drain off any excess fat rendered at the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.
- Allow the filling to cool down completely before using it in your recipes.
Observations
This versatile filling is a pantry staple for pizzas, savoury pies, or pastries. The secret to achieving the perfect texture is ensuring the mixture is well-drained and completely cool before you assemble your dishes.
