HATCH CHILE CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium-sized bowl stir together milk, corn, butter and eggs.
• In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add mixture from the medium-sized bowl to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in the cheese and chile.
• Pour into the baking pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool and tear it into small pieces and allow to dry over night.

AREPAS STUFFED WITH CHILES, CHORIZO AND CORN

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• In a bowl, toss the poblano peppers with the canola oil. Place on the grill along with the scallions and corn and cook, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are nicely charred.
• Immediately place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes to sweat and soften. Chop the charred scallions and put them into a large bowl. Cut the corn kernels off the ear and add to the bowl. Peel the skins off the peppers, finely chop and then add them to the corn and scallions. Stir in the goat cheese and Parmesan.
• Heat a large saute pan on the grill, add the chorizo and cook until the oils are released and the chorizo is slightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chorizo to the poblano-cheese mixture and gently fold together. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the arepas: Combine the masa flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in 2 1/2 cups hot water and, using a wooden spoon, stir to combine. Add in the melted butter, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 12 small balls. Place each ball in between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten using a heavy-bottomed skillet or tortilla press to about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
• Heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the arepas until lightly browned--they should have a nice crust on the outside but still be soft inside--about 5 minutes per side.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the arepas in half, similar to an English muffin. Stuff 1 to 2 teaspoons of the filling inside each. Garnish with some chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

• In medium skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add celery, onion, garlic, and jalapeño and sauté until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add oregano and sauté 1 minute more. Transfer vegetables to medium bowl and set aside.
• In large bowl, whisk together masa, salt, cumin, baking powder, and pepper. In separate large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. In 3 additions each, alternately beat in masa mixture and 2 cups stock, beating after each addition until just combined. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Fold in sautéed vegetables and corn.
• If baking inside turkey: Use immediately to stuff turkey and spread remainder in baking dish as directed in recipe .
