    Spanish Chorizo Stuffing Patties

    Servings:
    1 patty (1⁄3 cup mixture)
    Yield:
    24 servings
  • 18 oz
    Spanish chorizo, casing removed
  • 4 c
    King’s Hawaiian Original Round Bread, torn into chunks
  • 3 c
    Yellow onion, small diced
  • 2 c
    Carrots, small diced
  • 1 c
    Celery, small diced
  • 1 ⅓ tbsp
    Garlic, minced
  • 1 c
    Chicken stock
  • ½ c
    Canola oil
    1. Place sauté pan on stove over low heat.
    2. While pan is warming, add King’s Hawaiian bread chunks to food processor and pulse until bread is a roughly chopped, coarse crumb.
    3. Add half the canola oil to pan and swirl to coat sides, then add chorizo and cook until done, about 5 minutes. Remove chorizo from pan with a slotted spoon and place into a mixing bowl, leaving rendered fat behind in pan.
    4. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic to pan. Increase heat to medium and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
    5. When vegetables are done, transfer to bowl with chorizo. Stir to combine. Add breadcrumbs, then stir to combine again.
    6. Add chicken stock to bowl and stir to make a stuffing that comes together to hold its shape, but isn’t too wet.
    7. Portion into 1⁄3 cup portions and shape to be the size of King’s Hawaiian Original Little Island Buns.
    8. Place nonstick pan on stove over medium heat. Add the other half of the canola oil to the pan and swirl to coat.
    9. Cook stuffing patties in pan until brown on both sides and fully heated through, about 5 minutes per side.
    10. Place stuffing patties on a sheet tray and hold warm for service.
    11. If preparing in advance, cooled stuffing patties can be reheated by griddle, microwave, or convection oven.
