Chorizo Sweet Potato Stuffing
Author Notes: I got the idea for this from Sam Sifton's article in the NYT "Best Dressed" I decided Wednesday night was a great night to have stuffing. It turned out to be a delicious weeknight supper, and we ate it for breakfast with a fried egg on it. —Rona Wald

- Add the celery saute for a couple of minutes
- Add the sweet potatoes incorporating all of the ingredients. Saute all of the above for about 5 minutes on medium heat
- Season to taste with sea salt, I skip the pepper because the chorizo has enough spice Transfer the above ingredients into a casserole dish
- Keep the pan on a low heat Melt the butter in the same saute pan add the garlic and dried spices for a minute until they release their aroma
- Mix in the bread and stir to coat. You may want to add a bit extra butter. Just cause you can. Mix the bread into the casserole dish until everything is incorporated
- Ladle the broth over the entire dish
- Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. Check 20 minutes in and you may need to place a piece of foil loosely over the dish so the top layer does not over brown.
