CHORIZO AND POLENTA LASAGNA



Chorizo and Polenta Lasagna image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 quart low-sodium chicken stock
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking polenta
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 14-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1 bunch Swiss chard
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Make the polenta: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large pot. Add the polenta and whisk until fully incorporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; cover and cook over medium heat, 5 to 6 minutes. Finish by folding in the melted butter. Keep warm.
  • Make the chorizo sauce: Coat a large saute pan with the olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until almost translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the ground pork and brown 4 to 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, chili powder and cumin and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook 1 more minute to toast the spices, then add the vinegar, minced garlic and tomatoes. Simmer until the sauce is thickened and reduced, about 15 minutes. Taste and season once more with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Make the lasagna: Wash, drain and finely slice the chard. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the chard and saute 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain in a colander and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-inch-oval or 8-inch-square flameproof baking dish. Pour half of the polenta in the dish and spread out evenly. Top with half of the chorizo sauce and all of the chard. Sprinkle with half of each cheese. Top evenly with the remaining polenta, then the remaining chorizo sauce and finally the remaining cheese. Cover with aluminum foil, place the dish on a sheet tray and bake 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler. Remove the foil and broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 3 more minutes. Let sit for 25 minutes before serving.

  • For the best flavor, use a high-quality Mexican chorizo. This will impart a rich and smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in the filling. Bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms are all great additions.
  • Make sure to use a lasagna noodle that is specifically designed for baking. This will prevent the noodles from becoming too soft or mushy.
  • When layering the lasagna, start and end with a layer of noodles. This will help to keep the filling from oozing out during baking.
  • To ensure that the lasagna is cooked evenly, cover it with foil during the first half of the baking time. This will help to prevent the top from becoming overcooked.
  • Chorizagna can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Whether you're serving it to a crowd or enjoying it as a cozy family dinner, chorizagna is sure to be a hit.
