For this week’s recipe, we’ll be combining several ingredients that you’d never expect would create such unbelievable flavors! This chorizo and polenta lasagna dish is from world-renowned chef Guy Fieri at FoodNetwork.com. For the chorizo, we’ll be substituting Fieri’s choice with our beef chorizo to take this entré to the next level.

Ingredients

For the polenta:

• 1 quart of low-sodium chicken stock 
• 1¼ cups of quick-cooking polenta 
• Kosher salt 
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter  

For the lasagna:

• 1½ tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 bunch of Swiss chard
• 1 clove of minced garlic 
• Kosher salt and pepper
• ½ of a cup of grated fontina cheese
• ½ of a cup of grated mozzarella cheese

For the chorizo:

• 1 pack of our own Guerra’s Brand beef chorizo

Directions

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large pot and add the polenta. Stir for three to four minutes. 
• Sprinkle half a teaspoon of salt, cover, and cook for five to six minutes. Add the melted butter and keep the polenta warm.
• In a medium skillet, cook the chorizo for about five to seven minutes and keep warm.
• Wash, drain, and slice the Swiss chard. 
• In a large skillet, add the garlic and olive oil and set to medium heat. Add the chard and sauté for three to four minutes. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to stir. 
• Drain in a colander and squeeze out any excess moisture. 
• Preheat your oven to 350°.
• Oil a medium-sized baking pan and evenly add half of the polenta. Evenly pour half of the chorizo on and then spread a layer of half of the mozzarella. Tack on the remaining polenta evenly, followed by the remaining chorizo and mozzarella. 
• Cover with foil, place on a sheet tray, and bake for 30 minutes. 
• Turn on the broiler, remove the foil, and broil for three minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble. 
• Let it sit for 25 minutes before serving. 
• Enjoy!
