Categories     side-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted unsalted butter, plus extra for baking pan
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
1 large onion, finely diced
3 ribs celery, finely diced
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely diced
1 pound fresh chorizo
10 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves chopped
3 to 4 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the milk, honey, vanilla, eggs and butter in another mixing bowl and whisk to thoroughly combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Mix gently to combine. When the mixture has just come together, transfer it to the prepared skillet or baking pan. Bake until golden around the edges and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool before cutting or wrapping in plastic wrap. Allow to sit, wrapped at room temperature, 1 to 2 days.
  • For the cornbread stuffing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Coat a large saute pan over medium heat with olive oil, then add the onions and celery. Sprinkle with salt and cook the vegetables until they start to become soft and are very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chorizo and cook until it browns, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the sage and rosemary and remove from the heat.
  • Toss the chorizo mixture in the bowl with the cornbread cubes. Add the chicken stock and knead with your hands until the cornbread is very moist and wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed (it does). Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof serving dish.
  • Roast until the stuffing is hot all the way through and crusty on top, about 30 minutes. Serve.

MOMMA'S MEATLESS CORNBREAD STUFFING



Momma's Meatless Cornbread Stuffing image

We usually bake a turkey and a ham for holidays, since my family is so large. Since there's already so much meat in the menu, my mother made this stuffing without the sausage in it. Since then, it is my mom's job to make this stuffing for all our holiday gatherings. (We usually cut the celery and onion using a food processor. Saves a bunch of time)

Provided by Rock Lobstah

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 1/2 ounce) boxes Jiffy cornbread mix
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1 -1 1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons pepper
3 tablespoons ground sage
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven as directed for cornbread.
  • Combine cornbread mix, eggs, and milk in a bowl until well blended. Bake in a roasting pan as directed, about 25-30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Chop onion and celery while cornbread is cooking.
  • When the cornbread is cooled, crumble it and stir in celery and onions. Add salt, pepper and sage to taste, making it a TINY BIT stronger than you would like, because the chicken broth will water it down a bit and mute the spiciness. (We usually start with about 2 T of each, and maybe 1 T more of sage, because everyone ion my family loves it)
  • Pour chicken broth evenly over cornbread mixture, and stir till every last bit is wet. You may need to add more or less chicken broth to suit your palate.
  • Smooth top of stuffing with a spatula, and bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees, until top is lightly browned.

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Side dish

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 rashers of bacon, roughly chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 celery sticks, finely chopped
small bunch of sage, finely chopped
2 eggs, beaten
400ml vegetable stock, cooled
50g salted butter, melted, plus extra for the dish
175g fine semolina or polenta
100g plain flour
½ tbsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
200ml buttermilk or natural yogurt
1-2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped

Steps:

  • First, make the cornbread. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter the base of a 25cm ovenproof dish and line with baking parchment. Combine the semolina, flour, baking powder, bicarb and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Whisk the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk or yogurt and chillies together in a jug and until combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until just combined - be careful not to over-mix. Pour the cornbread batter into the pan and bake for 40-50 mins until golden, then cool completely in the tin.
  • Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Fry the bacon in a large frying pan or skillet over a medium heat for 5 mins until it is starting to crisp up and release its fat. Remove to a board, leave to cool slightly, then roughly chop. Tip the onion, garlic and celery into the pan and fry for 8-10 mins until the vegetables are softened and golden. Add a splash of water the mixture starts to catch on the bottom. Stir in the sage.
  • Tip the vegetable mixture into a large bowl and leave to cool slightly. Cut the cooled cornbread into 2cm cubes, then add to the bowl of veg along with the chopped bacon. Season and toss to combine. Tip the stuffing mixture into a roughly 20 x 30cm casserole dish. Mix the eggs and vegetable stock together in a jug, then pour this over the stuffing in the dish. Bake for 15-20 mins until the stuffing is golden brown and crisp at the edges.

Steps:

  • Serve the stuffing immediately. It is best when it is hot and fresh out of the oven.
