Skillet corn bread
1/4 pound Spanish chorizo (cured spiced pork sausage), casing removed and sausage chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
4 celery ribs, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped garlic

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound hard chorizo diced
1 white onion diced
1/2 cup chopped carrot (1 large carrot)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cups crumbled corn bread
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until the fat has been rendered, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the chorizo and cook until the vegetables have carmelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the crumbled corn bread, chicken stock, and cilantro. Make sure that the stuffing itself is not to dry but at the same time not to wet.
  • Place the stuffing into a buttered casserole and bake in the oven until heated through and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chorizo: Use a good quality, flavorful chorizo for the best results. A Mexican chorizo or a Spanish chorizo will both work well.
  • Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo can be a bit greasy, so it's important to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the stuffing. This will help to render out some of the fat and give the chorizo a crispy texture.
  • Use fresh cornbread: Fresh cornbread is best for this stuffing, but you can also use store-bought cornbread if you're short on time. If you're using store-bought cornbread, be sure to toast it in the oven before adding it to the stuffing.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables like celery, onion, and bell pepper can add flavor and texture to the stuffing. If you're using fresh vegetables, be sure to dice them finely so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the stuffing well: Be sure to season the stuffing generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Bake the stuffing until golden brown: The stuffing should be baked until it's golden brown on top and heated through. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but it may take longer if you're using a large baking dish.

Conclusion:

Chorizo and cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover chorizo and cornbread, and it's also a great side dish for any type of meat or poultry. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying stuffing, give this chorizo and cornbread stuffing a try.
