1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Heat butter in large pan over medium high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook until soft. Add the cornbread and 2 cups of the stock and stir to combine. The mixture should be quite wet, if it appears too dry, begin adding the remaining stock, a half cup at a time. Stir in the sage, thyme and cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Scrape into a large buttered baking pan or large cast iron pan and bake in the oven until firm and the top is golden brown, 20-30 minutes.
