Best 4 Chorizo And Wild Rice Stuffing Recipes
In this culinary voyage, we embark on a journey to explore a tantalizing dish that blends the zesty flavors of Spanish chorizo with the nutty goodness of wild rice - the Chorizo and Wild Rice Stuffing. This delightful stuffing, brimming with vibrant colors and textures, is a versatile culinary creation that can elevate any meal from ordinary to extraordinary.
Our culinary adventure begins with a harmonious blend of aromatic vegetables - celery, onion, and garlic - sautéed until they dance in a symphony of flavors. The tantalizing aroma of chorizo, diced and sizzling in its own rendered fat, fills the air, promising a savory and smoky depth of flavor. The wild rice, with its distinctive texture and nutty undertones, joins the party, adding a rustic charm to the stuffing.
But the journey doesn't end there. We venture into a realm of herbs and spices, where sage, thyme, and rosemary lend their earthy notes, while a touch of paprika infuses a vibrant warmth. The addition of chicken broth and white wine deglazes the pan, releasing a medley of flavors that mingle and meld, creating a rich and flavorful broth that moistens the stuffing, transforming it into a delectable delight.
The grand finale awaits as we stuff this flavorful creation into a succulent chicken or turkey, preparing it for a grand roasting. The stuffing bakes, absorbing the succulent juices from the bird, resulting in a masterpiece that is both moist and bursting with savory goodness.
As a delightful bonus, we present two additional variations of this versatile stuffing. The vegetarian version swaps out the chorizo for a combination of flavorful mushrooms, creating a hearty and satisfying plant-based alternative. For those who prefer a touch of sweetness and crunch, the apple and walnut variation adds a delightful twist, with the crisp sweetness of apples and the nutty crunch of walnuts adding a delightful contrast to the savory stuffing.
So, embark on this culinary journey with us, and discover the delectable flavors that await you in the Chorizo and Wild Rice Stuffing. Let your taste buds savor the symphony of flavors as you create a dish that will leave your guests clamoring for more.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the rice, water and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the grains open all the way, about 1 hour, 15 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes. The rice should be very cooked (not even the slightest chewy). Drain well, place in a large bowl and set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, onions, carrots and celery and cook until soft. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add the onion mixture, bread, goat cheese, parsley and 2 cups of the chicken stock to the rice. Mix to combine. The mixture should be quite wet; add more stock, if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a large buttered baking dish and bake, uncovered, until heated through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
- *Cook's note: We recommend to order from D'Artagnan because it's not raw or totally cured and cooked...it's kind of in between.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the stuffing will be. Look for fresh, flavorful chorizo, wild rice, and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the rice: Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and ruin the texture of the stuffing.
- Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the stuffing: This will help to caramelize the vegetables and bring out their flavor.
- Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs: Fresh herbs will add a bright, vibrant flavor to the stuffing, while dried herbs will add a more complex, earthy flavor.
- Season the stuffing to taste: Be sure to taste the stuffing before baking it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Stuff the turkey loosely: Overstuffed turkey will be dry and tough. Aim to fill the turkey about 3/4 full.
- Roast the turkey at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the heat: This will help to brown the turkey and keep it moist.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
Conclusion:
Chorizo and wild rice stuffing is a delicious and flavorful side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best chorizo and wild rice stuffing that your family and friends will love.
