This super economical dish has been a popular staple in Irish cuisine, not only in Dublin, but all over the rest of Ireland as well.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 lb bacon
8 good quality pork sausages (you may substitute turkey or chicken sausage for a healthier alternative)
4 onions, sliced
black pepper
1-2 leeks, some green tops included, sliced
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs of fresh thyme
1/4 c chopped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
6 potatoes, such as russets, peeled and cut into 2 or 3 large chunks
3 c ham or chicken stock
1 Tbsp butter
soda bread, to serve (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 275 F. Cook your bacon until it just starts to crisp. Drain on paper towels. Slice in half widthwise and set aside. Reserve fat.
2. Heat a flameproof dutch oven over medium heat. Add in butter and sausages. Cook, about 15 minutes, until evenly browned all over. Remove sausages, slice widthwise into chunks. Set aside.
3. Using the same dutch oven, add your onions and cook, gently, for about 7 minutes until soft but not colored. If necessary, add a touch of reserved bacon fat.
4. Layer onions, sausage and bacon in the bottom of the dish, seasoning each layer well with plenty of black pepper. Add leeks, herbs and garlic and finish with layer of potatoes. Season with a little more black pepper, then pour in your stock.
5. Cover dutch oven tightly and bring to a boil on the stovetop. Transfer to preheated oven and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
6. Serve with chunks of soda bread to mop up the juices.

Tips:

Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the stew from burning.
Brown the meat and vegetables before adding them to the pot: This will help to develop their flavor and create a richer stew.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the stew. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and cabbage.
Use a good quality sausage: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the stew. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat.
Don't overcook the stew: The meat and vegetables should be tender, but not mushy. Stew is a great dish to make ahead of time. It can be reheated and served the next day or even frozen for later.

Conclusion:

Dublin coddle is a hearty and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying Dublin coddle that your family and friends will love.
