Best 7 Fancy Manchego Mac And Cheese With Chorizo Recipes

SPANISH STYLE MACARONI CHEESE WITH CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO

Steps:

• Pre heat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
• Cook the macaroni in plenty of boiling salted water for about 3 minutes less than you would normally do it. This is important, or your macaroni will end up soggy and stodgy. Drain reserving a little of the cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat a wide, oven proof saucepan or cast iron casserole dish over a medium heat and add the olive oil and chorizo. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Tip the chorizo onto a plate.
• Turn down the heat and add the butter to the pan you just used for the chorizo. When the butter is melted add the onions and fry with the lid on for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are nicely softened. Add the garlic and fry for 1 more minute. Stir occasionally.
• Sprinkle the plain flour over the onions/garlic and stir well, then add the milk very slowly, stirring constantly until thickened. When the sauce is roughly the thickness of double (heavy) cream, add in a few twists of black pepper, the chorizo and 150g/5oz of the cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and then turn the heat off.
• In a small bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining 50g/2oz of the cheese. Mix together to make the topping.
• Tip the macaroni into the cheese sauce, together with about a tablespoon of the cooking water, and stir to combine. Scatter the panko topping evenly over the top and place in your preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°Fan / Gas Mark 4/ 350F).
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the macaroni according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile in another large pan, melt the butter over a medium heat.
• Add the chorizo and garlic and fry for a minute to release the chorizo oils.
• Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring all the time.
• Gradually add the milk, turn up the heat and whisk until the sauce thickens. It should coat the back of a wooden spoon. This usually takes a couple of minutes.
• Take the sauce off the heat and add the grated cheddar, mozzarella, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and Dijon mustard. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce.
• Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, mix together, and spoon into an ovenproof dish.
• Sprinkle over the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.

• Mix the cornstarch with the 2 cheeses in a bowl: and set aside. The cornstarch will help prevent the cheese sauce from getting too stringy.
• Heat the milk: Put the milk into a small saucepan and heat until steamy. Keep warm while you are preparing the recipe, do not let boil.
• Cook the macaroni pasta: Put 2 quarts of water, salted with 1 Tbsp salt, into a large pot and heat to a boil. Once the water is at a full boil, add the macaroni to the pot. Return to a boil, and cook, uncovered, for about 2 minutes less than the macaroni package specifies, so that it is al dente, cooked, but still firm to the bite.
• Drain macaroni, preheat oven: When the macaroni is cooked, but still a bit firm, drain it and set aside. Preheat oven to 375°.

• Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat, and fry the chorizo for 4-5 mins until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper using a slotted spoon, and set aside to cool.

For the pastry, put the flour, 1/2 tsp salt, the paprika, cayenne pepper, cooled chorizo fat and the butter in the bowl of a large food processor and blitz until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.

Prick the base all over with a fork, line with baking parchment, then fill with baking beans. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans, then bake for 15-20 mins more until golden and crisp. Trim away the pastry that is overhanging using a serrated knife.

Leave to cool in the tin, then remove from the tin and slice. Will keep in the fridge for up to three days.
