Servings: persons

1 1/2 loaves country bread, cubed & dried
1 lb chorizo sausage
6 -8 cups cooked wild rice (I use Trader Joe's already prepared... I'm lazy!)
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
3/4 cup celery, chopped
3/4 cup carrot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 2/3 teaspoons dried)
3 -5 cups chicken stock, approx
16 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (large-ish crumbles)
3/4 cup parsley, chopped (please use fresh!)
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

1
Cube & dry bread. (I do this the night before on baking sheet in a 200u00b0 oven, tossing frequently.) Put in large bowl.
2
Cook chorizo thoroughly over medium heat. Drain using colander lined with several paper towels.
3
Saute onion, celery, carrot in butter until soft. Add garlic & thyme and cook another minute.
4
Combine sauteed mixture, wild rice, parsley and *some* chicken broth with the bread. (You want this to be quite wet. Start with 3 cups of broth & add more until it is.).
5
Add goat cheese and chorizo. Mix lightly so the chevre & chorizo don't 'disappear' completely into dressing.
6
Add salt and pepper to taste.
7
Butter or Non-stick Spray a large casserole dish (or foil pan(s)). Add dressing and place, uncovered, in a pre-heated 350u00b0 oven. Bake 30 - 45 minutes (until heated all the way through & lightly browned). Cover with foil & let rest for approximately 10 minutes.
8
Serve and enjoy!
9
(Leftovers are wonderful. Just sprinkle with more chicken broth & heat.).
