Time 13h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound Aaron's Chorizo, recipe follows
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish, optional
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated cotija cheese, for garnish, optional
1/2 cup ancho chile powder
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons crushed dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1 teaspoon ground canela (Mexican cinnamon), or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground star anise
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon sugar

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 garlic, carrots, celery and onions to the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have browned, about 10 minutes. Add the crumbled cornbread and cilantro. Gradually stir 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 cilantro and cotija if desired.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Put the chile powder in a small bowl, pour in the boiling water and stir well to make a paste. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Put the ground beef and pork in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, salt and garlic and mix well (your hands are the best tools for this job). Sprinkle with the oregano, canela, black pepper, star anise and cloves and mix well. Add the wine and sugar and mix well. Work the ancho chilie paste into the meat with your fingers until it's well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate overnight before you use it.
  • Store in 2-ounce portions in ziptop bags in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, divided, plus more
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
10 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread, preferably homemade, dried out overnight
1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pound fresh chorizo, casings removed
2 medium onions, chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 large eggs
3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish and a sheet of foil. Bring vinegar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan; remove from heat and add cherries. Let sit until cherries are plump, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread out cornbread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Place in a very large bowl.
  • Drain cherries, reserving soaking liquid, and add cherries to bowl with cornbread (do not mix).
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Toast pecans on a clean rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 8-10 minutes. Let cool; add to bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo, stirring occasionally and breaking into small pieces with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add onions and celery to skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and soft, 10-12 minutes. Add garlic and sage; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook reserved cherry soaking liquid in skillet, scraping up any browned bits, until almost all evaporated, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup butter; cook, stirring, until melted. Drizzle over bread mixture.
  • Whisk eggs and 2 cups stock in a medium bowl; pour over cornbread mixture. Add parsley, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss, adding more stock 1/4-cupful at a time as needed (you may not use it all), until combined and cornbread is hydrated. Mix carefully to avoid breaking cornbread into crumbs. Transfer to prepared dish and dot with remaining 1/4 cup butter.
  • Cover with buttered foil; bake until a paring knife inserted into the center comes out hot, 30-35 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450°. Uncover and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, 20-25 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
  • Do ahead: Stuffing can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
