PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS, CHORIZO AND BREAD CRUMBS



Pasta With Chickpeas, Chorizo and Bread Crumbs image

If you're a planner, you can soak and cook dried chickpeas for this easy pasta dish, but if you're not, no worries. Using two or three cans makes it a real cinch; you'll have it on the table in about 20 minutes. First, brown the chorizo or kielbasa and set aside. Toast the bread crumbs in the same pan with a smattering of minced garlic, and set that aside, too. Dump the chickpeas into the pan with a bit of their liquid and let that reduce a bit while the pasta cooks. After draining the pasta, toss it with the chickpeas and sausage, and heat through. Serve it in big bowls with bread crumbs scattered over the top and a few aggressive grinds of the pepper mill. Our favorite pasta shape for this recipe is conchiglie, or shells, because the chickpeas nestle inside like they belong there, but it will work with almost any small cut pasta.

CHORIZO CORN BREAD



CHORIZO CORN BREAD image

Categories     Cheese     Brunch     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lb. unsalted butter (at room temp)
2 cups polenta (which is a really coarse corn meal)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbs. Baking powder
3 cup jalapeño en escabeche (I finely diced the jalapeño only)
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tsp. salt
2 2/3 cups buttermilk (or substitute Horizon organic plain whole milk yogurt)
: cup grated cheddar cheese (for the ease of it I used Trader Joe=s shredded 3 cheese blend)
3 heaping tablespoons of Honey
1 14 : oz. (418 grams) of cream style golden sweet corn
2 cups chorizo sausage (browned and fat drained out) **Recipe follows
**Almost 2 cups chile powder - New Mexico
5/8 cup vinegar
1¼ tablespoon oregano
1¼ tablespoon salt
1¼ teaspoon pepper
either 4 cloves garlic or 4 teaspoons granulated garlic
1½ lb. lean ground chuck
1½ lb. lean ground pork

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, use a large spoon to combine softened butter, polenta, flour, baking powder, eggs and salt, until just mixed. Fold in cheese. Finally, mix in buttermilk, honey, creamed corn and chorizo. Prepare Bundt pan by spraying oil into it to keep the corn bread from sticking to it. Fold the cornbread batter into Bundt pan. Bake 45 - 50 minutes until firm to the touch and golden. Remove from oven and let stand for 20 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and top with a touch of chopped cilantro and serve with sliced tomatoes which are generously peppered. (I found wonderful red and yellow tomatoes which looked really pretty on the plate with the corn bread.) Finally, sprinkle with a touch of crumbled *Cotija cheese. (If you can=t find the Cotija, then you will want to salt the tomatoes too.) *Cotija cheese is a dry salty crumbly cheese usually found at Hispanic markets. **Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Let age overnight in refrigerator. Cook until meat is fully cooked in a skillet on medium heat adding olive oil as needed if too dry.

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE & CHORIZO BREAD CRUMBS



Pasta With Broccoli Rabe & Chorizo Bread Crumbs image

Categories     Pasta     Sausage     Vegetable     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound chorizo, casings removed
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1 pound rigatoni or ziti
6 cloves garlic, sliced
4 ounces tomato paste
1 bunch broccoli rabe, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage, leaving the fat behind.
  • Add 3 tablespoons oil and the bread crumbs to the pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the bread crumbs are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain, reserving at least 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in the pot, then add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's toasted and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it's a nice brick-red color and starts to stick a bit to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the broccoli rabe, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it's all wilted and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and chorizo back to the pot along with 1/2 cup of pasta water. Cook, stirring constantly, until each piece of pasta is coated nicely in the tomato-y, chorizo-y sauce.
  • Serve straight from the pot (or not), with toasted bread crumbs and pecorino for sprinkling over.
