Portuguese Chouriço Stuffing

1. Saute onions, garlic, and chouriço in a large saucepan on high heat with 3 tablespoons butter and the olive oil, once done, set aside.
2. Pour hot water over the bread in a bowl and let it sit for about 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Once it cools down, squeeze out the water from the bread with your hands.
4. Add the four beaten eggs and the breadcrumbs to the bread mixture, then add this mixture to the sauce pan with the chouriço.
5. Add the paprika and the salt and pepper to taste.
6. Let it cook on low heat for approximately 45 minutes, occasionally stirring.
7. Once done, place the stuffing in a casserole dish and place in a preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes at 200°C or 400°F until the top is well browned.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 45 minutes to an hour before serving.
