Categories     side-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1 3/4 cups fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can sweet potato puree
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup honey
4 large eggs
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 red onion, small dice
3 stalks celery, small dice
2 carrots, small dice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups good quality chicken stock, plus more if needed
1/2 cup apple cider

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.

SWEET POTATO (QUEEN) CORNBREAD



Sweet Potato (Queen) Cornbread image

This recipe comes straight from "The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook. Another one of those things where I'm gonna write down the recipe exactly like it's portrayed in the cookbook.....you have to do the Queen's justice. :)

Provided by crazycookinmama

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 50m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 sweet potatoes or 1 (16 ounce) can sweet potatoes
2 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Mom's is the ultimate example of a life well-lived. I am in total awe of her. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful-inside and out-loving, courageous, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living.
  • It's been an easy fifty years for Dad, clearly. To further endear her to me personally, she and her friends turn out some excellent eats! Mom herself makes this sweet potato cornbread that is worth driving all the way to Mountain Pine, Arkansas, for, but you won't have to-here's how you do it.
  • Mix together this dry stuff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Separetely, mix together this wet stuff: 3 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or you may use 1 16 ounce can of sweet potatoes, and in this recipe, it really is okay not to use home-cooked ones, I would tell you if it mattered), 2 eggs, 6 tablespoons milk, and 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Then mix the dry stuff and the wet stuff, just until it's all moist (don't beat it to death), then put it in greased muffin tins and bake at 425 until done-usually about 15 to 20 minutes.

This flavor-packed holiday side feeds a crowd of 20 and takes care of both the stuffing and the sweet potatoes. If you don't like spicy dishes, omit (or reduce) the fresh chiles.

Provided by Rick Martinez

Categories     Stuffing/Dressing     Bread     Sweet Potato/Yam     Sausage     Onion     Celery     Chile     Jalapeño     Garlic     Paprika     Kale     Wine     Sage     Egg     Stock     Vinegar     Butter     Thanksgiving

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 lb. cornbread, cut into 1" cubes (about 20 cups)
2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces (about 6 cups)
2 Tbsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 lb. fresh chorizo, torn into small pieces
2 large onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 Fresno chiles or jalapeños, chopped (optional)
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tsp. paprika
3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 bunches Tuscan kale, stemmed, torn into 2" pieces (about 12 cups)
1 cup hard cider or dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped sage
6 large eggs, beaten to blend
2 quarts homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, divided
Special Equipment
A large roasting pan or large disposable aluminum roasting pan

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.

Tips:

*
  • To save time, use a food processor to coarsely chop the vegetables.
  • If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the vegetables by hand with a sharp knife.
  • Use a large mixing bowl to combine all of the ingredients, making sure to mix well.
  • If you want a cornbread stuffing with a crispy crust, bake it in a preheated oven at a high temperature for the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Serve the cornbread stuffing immediately, while it's still hot and fresh.
  • Conclusion:

    Sweet potato cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes and cornbread, and it can also be made with fresh ingredients. This stuffing is moist and flavorful, with a crispy crust and a delicious filling. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
