Chef's Tips

For a spicier stuffing, use spicy chorizo or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the vegetable mixture.

If the stuffing seems too dry, add a little more chicken broth. If it's too wet, bake it uncovered for a longer time to allow some of the moisture to evaporate.

You can prepare the stuffing a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

For a vegetarian option, omit the chorizo and add more vegetables or cooked mushrooms.

Add other vegetables of your choosing for example, carrots.
