Chorizo And Caramelized Onion Stuffed Intestines
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1 pound Mexican chorizo, casing removed
- 1 large Russet potato, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 11/2 cups)
- 2 cups (about 8 oz.) shredded Havarti or Monterey jack cheese
- 1 1/2 (17.3-oz) pkgs. Puff pastry (3 sheets), thawed
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 (12-oz) bag fresh or frozen cranberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotle en adobo
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium; add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add chorizo to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring to crumble, until natural oils release from chorizo, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in caramelized onions. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Fold in shredded cheese.
- Unfold thawed puff pastry and cut along the folds (should be in 3 equal pieces). Align the short ends of the pastry and brush short edges with egg wash; press to adhere. Repeat with remaining sheets.
- Spoon filling 1/3 of filling onto each long sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Brush border with egg wash and fold together over filling, crimping to adhere with your fingers. Repeat with remaining filling and sheets.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Coil the pastry logs into an intestine-like formation, seam-side down, curling in and around itself. Brush top with egg wash.
- Bake at 350u0b0F until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let sit about 10 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, combine cranberries, honey, lemon juice, cumin and chili in a medium saucepan; cook over medium-high until cranberries burst, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender with apple juice, brown sugar, chipotle, and salt; blend until smooth. Serve with puff pastry.
