SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD STUFFING (DRESSING)



Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing (Dressing) image

Over the years I've developed my own version of cornbread dressing. We like it spicey but you can control the 'heat' by omitting the jalapenos. In a pinch I've even made with a small can of diced mild green chiles. This is a very forgiving dish so feel free to experiment . . . add some corn, etc.

SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD STUFFING



Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup minced scallions
2 tablespoons minced fresh hot green chili pepper (canned jalapeno peppers can be substituted)
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled winter squash or pumpkin
5 cups diced dried cornbread
6 tablespoons chicken stock (approximately)
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and pepper and saute over medium heat until these vegetables are tender. Add the scallions, chili pepper and squash. Cook over low heat about 10 minutes, until the squash begins to soften.
  • Stir in the cornbread and add enough stock to moisten the mixture lightly. It should be somewhat crumbly because it will pick up moisture from the squash as it cooks, as well as from the turkey or chicken.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use to stuff poultry or bake in a buttered casserole alongside the poultry.

  • Season the stuffing well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the stuffing until it is heated through: The internal temperature of the stuffing should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Southwestern cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are looking for a traditional stuffing recipe or something with a little more spice, this recipe is sure to please.
