CHORIZO AND CORNBREAD STUFFING



Chorizo and Cornbread Stuffing image

Provided by Aarón Sánchez

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/2 cup chicken stock (low-sodium store-bought is fine)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated cotija cheese, for garnish (optional)

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.

LEMON ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO STUFFING



Lemon roast chicken with chorizo stuffing image

The Spanish-style stuffing in this roast chicken dish is packed with flavour and even more so if you make it ahead of time

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Main course

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 onions , 2 unpeeled and thickly sliced, 2 finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for greasing
3 tsp sweet smoked paprika
4 lemon thyme sprigs
1 ½kg whole chicken
2 lemons , zested and then halved
100g chorizo , diced
120g cooking chorizo , meat squeezed from the skins
175g fresh white breadcrumbs
100g soft dried apricots , chopped
4 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 large egg , beaten
250ml glass white wine
400ml chicken stock
sauteed potatoes and steamed broccoli, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the sliced onions in the middle of a roasting tin. Mix the oil with 2 tsp paprika and leaves from one of the thyme sprigs. Rub all over the chicken, sit it on top of the onions and season well. Push 3 of the lemon halves inside the cavity, cover the chicken loosely with foil and roast for 45 mins.
  • Meanwhile, make the stuffing. Cook the diced chorizo over a low-medium heat until crisp and plenty of oil has collected in the pan. Scoop out the chorizo to cool, and tip the chopped onions into the pan. Soften gently for 15-20 mins, then tip into a bowl to cool.
  • Rub together the cooking chorizo meat and the breadcrumbs, as if you were rubbing butter into flour to make pastry. When the breadcrumbs are all orange, mix in the cooked chorizo and onions, apricots, parsley, leaves from another thyme sprig, remaining paprika, the lemon zest and egg. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lemon half, season with lots of pepper, then use your hands to squish everything together really well.
  • Grease a small roasting tin and push in the stuffing, roughing up the surface with a fork - this will create lots of crispy bits. Tear over the remaining thyme sprigs.
  • After 45 mins, remove the foil from the chicken and pour the wine and stock into the tin. Reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and put the chicken back in with the stuffing on a shelf below. Roast for another 45 mins until the juices between the legs and body run clear.
  • Rest the chicken for 15 mins while you bubble the pan juices to reduce a little, then carve and serve with the stuffing, reduced juices, and sautéed potatoes and steamed broccoli, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chorizo: Opt for a Spanish chorizo that is flavorful and has a good balance of fat and spice.
  • Toast the bread cubes: Toasting the bread cubes gives them a nice crispy texture and helps them to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Don't overstuff the chorizo: Overstuffing the chorizo can make it difficult to cook evenly and can also cause the casing to burst.
  • Cook the chorizo stuffing thoroughly: Make sure to cook the chorizo stuffing until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Serve the chorizo stuffing immediately: Chorizo stuffing is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still warm and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chorizo stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bold flavors and hearty texture, chorizo stuffing is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a special dish to serve, give chorizo stuffing a try!
