Wild Rice, Goat Cheese and Chorizo Dressing image

I first found this watching Bobby Flay on Food TV several years ago. Ever since the first time I made it, I've been required to bring it for every Thanksgiving & Christmas dinner! I've made a few adjustments from the original, partly for our tastes and partly for ease. Hope you enjoy this interesting dressing like we do! :)

Time 1h30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 loaves country bread, cubed & dried
1 lb chorizo sausage
6 -8 cups cooked wild rice (I use Trader Joe's already prepared... I'm lazy!)
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
3/4 cup celery, chopped
3/4 cup carrot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 2/3 teaspoons dried)
3 -5 cups chicken stock, approx
16 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (large-ish crumbles)
3/4 cup parsley, chopped (please use fresh!)
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cube & dry bread. (I do this the night before on baking sheet in a 200° oven, tossing frequently.) Put in large bowl.
  • Cook chorizo thoroughly over medium heat. Drain using colander lined with several paper towels.
  • Sauté onion, celery, carrot in butter until soft. Add garlic & thyme and cook another minute.
  • Combine sautéed mixture, wild rice, parsley and *some* chicken broth with the bread. (You want this to be quite wet. Start with 3 cups of broth & add more until it is.).
  • Add goat cheese and chorizo. Mix lightly so the chevre & chorizo don't 'disappear' completely into dressing.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Butter or Non-stick Spray a large casserole dish (or foil pan(s)). Add dressing and place, uncovered, in a pre-heated 350° oven. Bake 30 - 45 minutes (until heated all the way through & lightly browned). Cover with foil & let rest for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • (Leftovers are wonderful. Just sprinkle with more chicken broth & heat.).

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong type of chorizo.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed this dish. The dressing was creamy and flavorful and the wild rice added a nice texture.

I loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The wild rice was chewy and the goat cheese and chorizo dressing was tangy and creamy. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
