POTATO AND CHORIZO CASSEROLE



Potato and Chorizo Casserole image

I love the smoky flavor chorizo gives this dish, but I've also made it with Italian sausage and substituted an Italian blend cheese for the Mexican cheese. Or you can use cream of mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms for a vegetarian option. -Ana Beteta, Aberdeen, Maryland

SMOKY CHEDDAR, CHORIZO AND SWEET POTATO POT PIES

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 stalks celery, diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo or soy-based chorizo sausage, casings removed
1 pound sweet potatoes, parcooked (see Cook's Note)
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded smoked Cheddar
1/4 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chorizo, sweet potatoes and peas. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the flour. Stir and cook to remove the raw flour flavor, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the vegetable stock and the cream. Bring to a simmer to allow the sauce to thicken; it should coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the cheese and the parsley and remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place six 8-ounce ramekins in a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each with the chorizo mixture until 1/2-inch from the top (the number of pies you get depends on the size of the ramekins). Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the pie crust and, using a large biscuit cutter, cut a circle of dough large enough to cover the entire top of the ramekin and fall over the sides. Repeat until all the ramekins are covered. Brush the dough with the egg, cut 2 to 3 slits in the top to allow steam to escape and bake until golden and the dough is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any potatoes with blemishes or bruises.
  • Bake the Sweet Potatoes Properly: To ensure evenly cooked potatoes, prick them with a fork before baking. Bake at a high temperature (425°F) for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use Good Quality Chorizo: Opt for a flavorful and spicy chorizo that will add a zesty kick to the dish. Spanish chorizo works particularly well.
  • Don't Overcook the Eggs: Gently whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper before pouring them into the sweet potato boats. Bake until the eggs are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Add Your Favorite Toppings: Before serving, top the sweet potato boats with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, or any other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

These Cheesy Chorizo and Egg Sweet Potato Boats are a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
