# Cornbread Stuffing | Made In - Made In

Chef Angel Baretto’s favorite holiday dish is cornbread stuffing, so he gave us his favorite recipe, too. 

“My mom’s cornbread stuffing is iconic,” says Chef Angel Baretto of Anju, who just won Food & Wine Best New Chef of 2021.

Chef Angel says that growing up, his family was very traditional. They’d have the traditional turkey and mashed potatoes and he loved it. Growing up as a military family, they’d move every two to three years, and so spending time during the holidays and having meals together was something they could always count on.

But if he had to pick one dish that brings him right back to the familiarity, the nostalgia, it’d be this one.

To make it, his mom bakes her own cornbread, poaches chicken and makes her own stock, pulling the meat and gizzards out. The stock gets folded into the stuffing, homogenizing the cornbread, which adds a touch of sweetness. Yes, it’s better than using white bread.

“I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love turkey, but this stuffing, well, it’s just, the perfect side.”
