Best 8 Spicy Cornbread Stuffing With Chorizo And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

CHORIZO AND CORNBREAD STUFFING

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.

• Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to drippings in skillet. Once oil is hot, add chopped yellow onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cook over medium-high, tossing often, until mixture is fragrant and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chopped garlic and white parts of scallions, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat.
• Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl, and add crumbled cornbread and cooked reserved chorizo. Stir mixture to combine well.

SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, put the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and leave in the oven until melted, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and set aside.
• Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk together the sweet potato puree, milk, honey, eggs and lemon juice in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then pour the batter into the cast-iron skillet.
• Lower the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cornbread until golden orange and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the cornbread cubes on top. Toast in the oven, flipping halfway through, until browned and crispy along the edges, about 20 minutes. Set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
• For the dressing: Crumble the sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage crumbles from the pan with a slotted spoon and remove to a large bowl. Add the onion, celery, carrot and thyme to the skillet with the sausage fat, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sweat the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add to the bowl with the sausage, then add the chicken stock, apple cider and cornbread cubes and stir until moist but not mushy. Place in a 9-inch square casserole dish and bake until the top is crusty and golden, about 30 minutes.

SPICY CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH CHORIZO AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Divide cornbread between 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake, tossing occasionally and rotating pans top to bottom halfway through, until beginning to brown in spots and dry out, 35-40 minutes. (Drying out the stuffing will help it absorb the eggs and stock without becoming mushy.) Let cool.
• Meanwhile, cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until just beginning to soften but not fully cooked through, 7-9 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and slightly undercooked, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with sweet potatoes.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium. Add onions, celery, chiles (if using), garlic, paprika, 1 Tbsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add kale in batches as it wilts, then cider and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer to sweet potato mixture and toss to combine.
• Whisk eggs, stock, and vinegar in a large bowl or pitcher; season with remaining 1 Tbsp. salt and 2 tsp. pepper.
• Brush large roasting pan with an even layer of melted butter. Spread one-third of cornbread pieces in pan. Top with half of sweet potato mixture and spread to evenly distribute. Drizzle one-third of egg mixture over. Repeat with another third of the cornbread, remaining sweet potato mixture, then another third of egg mixture. There will be a lot of liquid in the pan-don't worry, it will become absorbed as the stuffing bakes. Top with remaining cornbread, then drizzle remaining egg mixture over. Brush top with remaining butter. Cover pan with foil and bake stuffing until heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until surface is golden and crisp, 20-30 minutes longer.
• Do Ahead: Cornbread can be toasted 1 day ahead; store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Sweet potato, chorizo, and kale mixture can be cooked 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
