Squash Chorizo Pot Pies Recipes

SQUASH & CHORIZO POT PIES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onions and cook for a few mins until soft, then add the chorizo. Stir around the pan for a few more mins until the chorizo leaks some of its oils, then add the squash and 100ml water. Cover with a lid and leave to cook for 10-15 mins until the squash is just cooked through.
• Add the chickpeas with any liquid from the can, the spinach and some seasoning. Stir, then cover with a lid and simmer for 1-2 mins until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the crème fraîche and bubble for 3-4 mins, adding a splash of water if the sauce looks too thick.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Divide the filling between 4 pie dishes. Unroll the pastry and cut out 4 lids, large enough to cover the pies. Brush the edge of each dish with a little beaten egg, then put a pastry lid on top and brush this with egg too. Poke a hole in the top of each pie. Bake on a tray for 25 mins until the lids are puffed and golden.

SQUASH & CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large pan, add the chorizo, then cook over a high heat for 2 mins until it starts to release its red oil. Lift the chorizo out of the pan, then add the onion and fry for 5 mins until starting to soften.
• Tip in the passata, squash and chorizo, bring to the boil, then cover and cook for 15-20 mins until the squash is softened, but not broken up. If you need to, add a little water during cooking. Season to taste, then serve in bowls scattered with parsley.

CHORIZO-STUFFED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Combine turkey, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked and sweet paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, chipotle pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and apple cider vinegar in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for flavors to blend.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and brush cut sides with olive oil. Place squash cut-side down on prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in preheated oven until squash is soft, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chilled chorizo mixture. Cook and stir, breaking up lumps, until cooked through and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until onion becomes translucent, stirring constantly. Add garlic and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chili powder, salt, and cumin.
• Stir in beans, corn, diced green chilies, and tomatoes; cover and simmer 4 to 5 minutes.
• Fluff spaghetti squash strands with a fork, keeping them in the shells.
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Divide sauce among 4 squash halves. Top each half with 1/4 cup of cheese. Return to baking sheet and bake until cheese is melted 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

CHICKEN & SQUASH POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Sprinkle chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Bake chicken breasts on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and dice chicken into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
• Warm chicken stock on the stove. Meanwhile, in a large pot, melt butter. Add onions and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in flour continuously and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Continue to stir adding chicken stock and simmer for 1 minute. Add RawSpiceBar's Winter Herbs, chicken, carrots, peas, and squash and mix together.
• Turn up oven to 375°F Roll out two 12 inch diameter pastry rounds. Place the first in a very deep dish pie pan and trim the edges over the lip of the dish. Set trimmings aside as you will need them later. Fill piecrust with pot pie mixture. Brush exposed edge with egg wash and then carefully lie the second piecrust on top of the filling, allowing the edges to hang down. Use the excess trimming from before to roll out and create leaves and décor for the pie as you please. Affix your leaves and brush the entire top of the piecrust with egg wash. Poke 4 holes in the crust with a fork. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Add aluminum foil to the top if it appears the top is becoming too dark, but you should be okay. Serve hot.
