Best Spicy Cornbread Stuffing With Chorizo And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

SPICY CHORIZO CORNBREAD SAGE DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350
• In a large, ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the corn, onion, celery and garlic. Saute for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Onions will become translucent and may begin to brown slightly.
• Add the chorizo and brown for 2-3 minutes, breaking up the sausage as it cooks.
• Add the sage and thyme. Saute for 1-2 minutes allowing the herbs to become fragrant.
• Add the cornbread, salt and pepper. Using a cooking spoon, mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
• Add the egg and mix again.
• Pour the chicken stock evenly over the cornbread mixture. There is no need to mix again if pouring the broth evenly over the cornbread mixture.
• Place in the oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove lid and allow to brown on top slightly (10-15 additional minutes). Serve immediately. Additional chopped sage and thyme can be added to garnish the dressing.

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.

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.

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pine nuts in one layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl, and set aside. Cut cornbread into 3/4-inch cubes, and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake, shaking pan periodically, until golden brown on edges, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, and set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse sausage until coarsely chopped; do not overprocess. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add celery and garlic, and cook until celery is soft, about 5 minutes more. Add sausage and pine nuts, and cook for 1 minute more. Add stock, and cook until absorbed, about 2 minutes.
• Pour sausage mixture over cornbread, and mix well. Add butter and cilantro, and mix to combine. Let cool completely before stuffing turkey.

SPICY CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Generously grease a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to skillet, and heat until a piece of onion sizzles when added. Add chorizo, and cook, tossing often and breaking up meat with a spoon, until fragrant and nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a bowl, and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
• 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. Add chopped cilantro and jalapeño, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine well. Add beaten eggs and chicken stock, and stir to combine well, making sure mixture is evenly moistened.
• Transfer cornbread mixture to prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until dressing is cooked through and browned, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve hot or warm. Sprinkle dressing with reserved green parts of scallions before serving.

CHORIZO CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick spray. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chorizo as it cooks. Add garlic, onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have browned, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in cornbread, cilantro and chicken stock; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add cornbread mixture to prepared baking dish. Place into oven and bake until heated through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro.

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.
