Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 cups cornbread, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
8 ounces chorizo sausage, Mexican-style firm with casings removed
1/2 cup butter
1 medium red onion, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup carrot, minced
6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, rough chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, rough chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, rough chopped
1 teaspoon fresh sage leaf, rough chopped
1/2 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Up to 3 days ahead, bake two 8-inch square pans of your favorite recipe or a boxed mix (you will have a little left over); store airtight at room temperature.
  • When ready to make the stuffing, in a large frying pan over medium heat, stir chorizo until crumbly and browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Return pan to medium-high heat and add butter. When melted, add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Stir until vegetables are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Add cilantro, thyme, oregano, and sage; stir for about 1 minute. Add chorizo and 1/2 cup chicken broth and stir just until boiling. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine cornbread cubes and vegetable-chorizo mixture.
  • Stir until evenly moistened, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. If mixture is too dry for your liking, moisten with additional chicken broth.
  • Spoon into a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Cover and bake in a 450° oven for 10 minutes; uncover and continue to bake until top is browned and dressing is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Serve hot.

  • Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. This is when it will be at its best.
