1 small onion, chopped
Oregano to taste
1 small onion, chopped
Oregano to taste
Where to find ingredients
Look for chorizo-style sausage and onions at the butcher’s counter or chilled meats section, and pick up dried oregano in the spices aisle. If calabresa sausage is unavailable, a similar smoked sausage may be used as a substitute, but calabresa is the ideal ingredient.
Preparation method
- Bring the grated calabresa sausage and chopped onion to a pan
- Sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and the sausage is nicely browned
- Remove any excess fat that has collected in the bottom of the pan
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and stir well
- Let the filling cool completely before using it in your recipes
Observations
A versatile filling, ideal for pizzas, baked savoury snacks, or pies. The key to a good result is making sure the mixture is well drained and cold before using it in the dough.
