CHORIZO AND CORNBREAD STUFFING



Chorizo and Cornbread Stuffing image

Provided by Aarón Sánchez

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/2 cup chicken stock (low-sodium store-bought is fine)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated cotija cheese, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring occasionally as it cooks, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have browned, about 10 minutes. Add the crumbled cornbread and cilantro and gradually pour in enough of the stock so the stuffing is not too dry but at the same time not too wet. Stir gently and well.
  • Butter a small casserole dish. Spread the stuffing in an even layer. Bake until it's heated through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. Serve right away, garnished with the cilantro and cotija, if desired.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the pan
4 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 pound chorizo, casings removed
1 small onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 poblano chile pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
4 to 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons salted roasted pepitas
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F and oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and fine salt in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs, milk and vegetable oil until combined. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool, then cut into 1- to 2-inch cubes. Spread out on a baking sheet and let dry out at room temperature overnight.
  • Make the stuffing: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and poblano to the skillet and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, sage, oregano and 1 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Add the cubed cornbread (about 12 cups) and the cooled chorizo mixture and toss to coat. (If the cornbread seems dry, add up to 1 more cup broth.) Transfer to the baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover loosely with foil. Bake 30 minutes, then uncover, top with the pepitas and continue baking, uncovered, until the top is golden and crisp, 30 to 35 more minutes. Top with cilantro before serving.

This will help to develop their flavor. - Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to the stuffing for extra flavor. - Use a large bowl to mix the stuffing so that you have plenty of room to stir. - Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely so that the stuffing has room to expand. - Bake the stuffing at a high temperature so that it gets crispy on top.
