Chorizo Dressing With Leeks Recipes

CHORIZO DRESSING WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter one or two large sheet pans. Spread the bread pieces out on the pan or pans. Bake in the oven, tossing occasionally, until well toasted, about 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans and turning the bread about halfway through. Remove sheet pans and allow to cool.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat and swirl the olive oil into it. When it shimmers, add leeks, salt, black pepper and red pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks have softened, about 10 to 15 minutes. (If the leeks begin to stick to the pan, you can add a couple tablespoons of water here to prevent them from burning.) Add chorizo and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and begins to redden the leeks, an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Add vinegar to the pan to deglaze it, cook for a minute or so, then dump mixture into a large bowl.
• Add smoked paprika and oregano, mix well, then tear and crumble the toasts into bite-sized pieces, add them to the bowl and stir to combine. Add turkey or chicken stock, a cup at a time, mixing as you go, until the dressing is moist but not entirely wet. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter, drizzle it over the bread mixture, and gently fold to combine.
• Transfer the dressing to a well-buttered 9-by-13-inch baking pan and bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until crusty on top and at the edges. Add a little more turkey stock as needed to keep it from drying out.

EMERIL LAGASSE CHORIZO STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pork and chorizo and cook until completely browned. Add the onions, celery and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Put the bread in a large rectangular glass baking dish and pour in the chicken stock. Soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and squeeze each slice, reserving the stock. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread and stock with the pork and vegetable mixture. Mix well. Season with salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Stir in the parsley. Let cool completely and season again with salt and black pepper. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Transfer dressing to a 3 quart baking dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until browned on top.

ROASTED CONCERTINA SQUID WITH GRILLED LEEKS AND A WARM CHORIZO DRESSING

Steps:

• To achieve the beautiful concertina effect, take a squid and place a large chef's knife flat inside it. Using a second knife, slice the squid across into 1/4-inch slices, as if you're cutting it into rings. You won't be able to cut all the way because of the other knife.
• Light your barbecue or preheat a griddle pan to hot. Preheat your oven to maximum.
• Parboil the baby leeks for 3 minutes in a pan of boiling salted water, drain in a colander and let them steam dry. Dress them with some olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the leeks on the barbecue or in the griddle pan on both sides until nicely marked, then add the fennel wedges and chargrill these dry on both sides until they are also marked. Add the radicchio leaves and dry grill these on both sides to wilt them - 30 seconds on each side should do. Put the leeks, fennel and radicchio into a large bowl - they might look a bit sad, but don't worry because you're going to pep them up!
• For the chorizo dressing: Heat a frying pan with a couple of glugs of olive oil. Fry the chorizo until the fat renders out, add the rosemary and garlic, toss and take off the heat after 30 seconds. Add the balsamic vinegar and half the lemon juice to the pan, mix and put to 1 side.
• Drizzle some olive oil over each squid, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss well. Preheat an ovenproof pan on the stove top, pour in some olive oil and toss the reserved tentacles in the oil for 1 minute. Add all 4 squid and whack the pan in the preheated oven for a few minutes or until cooked and lightly browned.
• Pour the chorizo dressing over your chargrilled veggies and add a good squeeze of lemon juice. Take the squid out of the oven. Serve each of your guests a nice pile of the dressed veggies, a concertina squid, some tentacles and half a lemon. Sprinkle over some of the reserved herby fennel tops and tuck in!

EASY CHORIZO STUFFING

Steps:

• Remove casings from chorizo. Cook with onions and celery in a large skillet until chorizo is crumbly and browned and onions and celery are softened, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from the skillet, add to a large bowl, and set aside.
• Bring water to a boil in the same skillet. Add butter to the boiling water and allow to melt. Pour stuffing mix into the boiling water and remove from heat. Stir and cover with a lid. Allow stuffing to stand for 5 minutes. Fold in chorizo mixture and stir until well combined.

LEEK, MANCHEGO & CHORIZO TART

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the flour, ¼ tsp salt and the butter into a food processor and pulse to fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks and 2 tbsp ice-cold water and pulse again until the mixture clumps, adding up to 2 tbsp more water if needed. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and bring together into a disc with your hands, then wrap tightly and chill for 30 mins.
• Roll the chilled pastry out on a lightly floured surface into a 30cm round. Use it to line a 22cm fluted tart tin, leaving any excess overhanging the rim, then chill for 30 mins more. Line the pastry case with baking parchment and baking beans and bake for 15 mins. Remove the beans and parchment and bake for 10 mins more. Leave to cool, then trim away any excess pastry using a serrated knife.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chorizo for 5 mins until beginning to crisp up. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside. Fry the leeks in the residual chorizo oil with a pinch of salt for 10-15 mins until softened, adding a pinch of paprika in the last minute. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Whisk the eggs, cream, most of the cheese and chives and some seasoning together. Spread the leek mixture into the base of the tart case, then gently pour over the egg mixture. Scatter with the remaining cheese, chives and paprika. Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-20 mins, then remove and leave to cool for 15 mins before serving with a green salad.

LEEK, BUTTER BEAN & CHORIZO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil, fry the chorizo for a few mins until slightly crisp, then scoop out, leaving the oil behind. Add the leeks and half the garlic; cook for 5 mins until soft. Pour in the sherry, beans and stock. Season, then bubble for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, blitz the bread to coarse crumbs with the remaining garlic. Tip the leek mixture into an ovenproof dish, stir in the chorizo and scatter over the crumbs. Bake for 10 mins until golden, then serve with crusty bread.
