Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Spread the cubed Cuban bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. (Do not over bake or the cubes will get hard.) Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat, and sauté the chorizo, stirring occasionally, until crisp and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the celery, carrot, bell pepper, leek, garlic and chile. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes; stirring occasionally. Combine the toasted bread cubes, cornbread cubes and chorizo mixture in a large bowl. Add the herbs and stock, and toss to combine well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon into a casserole. Serve immediately or cover lightly and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to two weeks. Serving Size: 8
