Corn And Mushroom Stuffing Recipes

CHORIZO AND CORNBREAD STUFFING

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.

CORN BREAD, WILD MUSHROOM AND PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• In large, deep skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, carrot and garlic. Saute, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add portobello, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until mushrooms have cooked. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature. (If cooking in advance, cover and refrigerate overnight.)
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large bowl, combine mushroom mix, corn bread, pecans, marjoram, thyme, sage and parsley. Season to taste with salt and a teaspoon of pepper. Add milk, mixing well. Add optional turkey drippings to taste.
• Transfer to 9-by-12-inch greased, shallow casserole, and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, uncover, and bake until top is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
