Bobby Flay adds a Latin note to his stuffing with spicy chorizo and goat cheese because he loves it and it goes really well with wild rice. It may not be classic, but it's delicious.

Categories     stuffing     Bobby Flay     dressing     Wild Rice     chorizo     goat cheese

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 c. wild rice
kosher salt
5 tbsp. unsalted butter
3/4 lb. Spanish-style chorizo (see Tips & Techniques)
1 1/4 c. diced Spanish onion
1/2 c. diced carrots
1/2 c. diced celery
3 clove garlic
2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
5 c. day-old country-style bread
1/2 c. chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
3 c. homemade chicken stock (up to 5 cups)
1 large egg
6 oz. goat cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the rice, 4 cups water, and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the grains open all the way, about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours. The rice should be very cooked (not even the slightest bit chewy). Drain well, place in a large bowl, and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the onion mixture, bread, parsley, 3 cups of the chicken stock, and the egg to the rice and mix well to combine. The mixture should be very wet; add more stock, if needed. Fold in the goat cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake, uncovered, until heated through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the dressing from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

WILD RICE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING



Wild Rice and Sausage Stuffing image

A picture of this dish should be in the dictionary under "savory". Made this a few times, years ago, to rave reviews and have been looking for the recipe ever since. Found it. I recommend baking it separately in a casserole and don't wait for a holiday. This is good anytime. If you prefer, leave out the bacon and sausage, it's still great. Cooking wild rice is not included in prep or cook times.

1 teaspoon crushed leaf oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed sage leaf
2 cups breadcrumbs
salt and pepper

Wild Rice, Sausage and Fennel Stuffing image

Categories     Rice     Side     Sauté     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Sausage     Fennel     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 cups wild rice (about 9 ounces), rinsed, drained
1 cup water
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
3 small fennel bulbs, trimmed, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 medium onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine broth, rice, 1 cup water and fennel seeds in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer until rice is tender, stirring occasionally, about 55 minutes. Drain.
  • Sauté sausage in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels and drain. Add chopped fennel bulbs and onions to drippings in skillet. Sauté over medium-high heat until vegetables are golden, about 10 minutes. Add rice and sausage to skillet. Sauté until heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. If serving as side dish, rewarm covered in 350°F. oven for 20 minutes.) Transfer to bowl and serve. If using as stuffing, cool completely and fill bird.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the wild rice. It should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • If you don't have time to make your own sausage, you can use pre-cooked sausage from the store.
  • Be sure to brown the sausage well before adding it to the stuffing.
  • Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely. You don't want to pack it too tightly, or the stuffing will be dry.
  • Bake the turkey or chicken according to the recipe instructions.
  • Let the turkey or chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Wild rice, goat cheese, and sausage stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion.
