Where to find ingredients
Look for Brazilian-style calabrese sausage, onions and dried oregano in the deli, fresh produce and herbs sections of supermarkets, or at butcheries and local grocery stores. If needed, substitute a smoky cured sausage for the calabrese, but keep the original sausage as the ideal choice.
Preparation method
- Add the grated calabrese 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 at 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 savouries or pies. The key to a good result is making sure the mixture is very dry and cold before adding it to the dough.
