Where to find ingredients
Find calabresa sausage and mozzarella at local butcher shops or supermarket deli counters. As a substitute for calabresa, a smoked garlic sausage can be used.
Preparation method
- Place the grated calabresa sausage and the chopped onion into a frying pan
- Sauté the ingredients for a few moments until the onion softens and the sausage browns lightly
- Drain all excess fat that has gathered at the bottom of the pan
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mozzarella
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and combine all items well
- Let the filling cool completely before assembling the pastries to prevent the heat from melting the cheese prematurely
Observations
This filling combines the smoky flavor of calabresa sausage with the creaminess of melted cheese. The secret is to let the mixture cool down so that the cheese does not melt completely before frying, ensuring the perfect texture when biting into the pastry.
