Crock Pot Irish Stew (Dublin Coddle). image

During WW2 with a shortage of meat, sausage and bacon was plentiful in Ireland. Hence the traditional Irish Stew (Dublin Coddle) was born. So me Ma told me and I believe her. Anyway every one who has ever tried this has loved it. It is a great crock pot dish for cold winter days and tastes even better the day after. St. Patricks Day would not be the same without it either, we always have a house full of friends all looking forward to Jonnie's stew. Please enjoy and seriously, this dish should come with a Government Health Warning........lol. Strange that it may seem, we do use CHICKEN STOCK and not beef stock as might be assumed, please trust us, the stock gives the flavour that you and your family/friends will enjoy. Some of the quantities you can play with and even thicken up the stew with corn starch and water, but please try the chicken stock, it works. Hope you enjoy. Please add your reviews and suggestions, we love to hear what you think.

Time 5h20m

Yield 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb stewing beef
8 slices bacon (sliced)
1 lb breakfast sausage (sliced)
8 -10 white potatoes (quatered)
3 -4 celery (sliced)
1 large onion (sliced roughly)
2 -3 large parsnips (sliced)
6 -8 large carrots (sliced)
2 liters chicken stock
1/2 cup pearl barley
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 -3 garlic cloves (diced)
1 dash salt and pepper, to taste
1 dash extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon basil (chopped)
1 teaspoon cilantro (chopped)
1 teaspoon parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Put a dash of Oil in a pan (we use our Wok) and heat adding the garlic and onion. Sear the stewing beef in the pan adding the worcestershire sauce. Cook for 5 minutes or until the beef is browned.
  • In your crock pot or stock pot add 1 L of chicken stock. Prepare vegatables and add.
  • Slice Sausage (into bite sized slices), bacon and add to pot.
  • Add pearl barley, herbs and sugar and stir.
  • Add the Stew Beef and contents of the Wok to pot/crock pot. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
  • A quick check will tell you how much of the second litre of chicken stock to add (enough to cover the contents of the crock/stock pot is all you need.).
  • Close to serving time we like to check the consistency and using corn starch and a little water thicken up to the desired texture.
  • Working long days this dish works for us when popped in the crock pot for 5 to 7 hours. When we cook it on the stove it takes about 3 to 5 on a low simmer.
  • We enjoy our stew with dinner buns, but from experience Irish Soda bread works really well. I will put a recipe up for this soon also. Please enjoy and look forward to your comments. Deb and John.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt next time. However, the meat and vegetables were cooked well and the broth was flavorful. I would recommend this recipe with a caveat to reduce the salt.

I've tried many Dublin coddle recipes and this one is by far the best. The stew is so flavorful and hearty, and the addition of sausages and bacon gives it a nice smoky flavor. I always serve it with some mashed potatoes and it's always a hit.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter day. The meat and vegetables are cooked to perfection and the broth is flavorful and rich. I love serving it with some crusty bread for dipping.

I made this stew in my Instant Pot and it was ready in under an hour! The meat was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I served it with some rice and it was a delicious and easy meal.

This stew was just okay. The meat was a bit tough and the vegetables were overcooked. The broth was flavorful, but not as rich as I would have liked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I've made this stew several times and it's always a hit. The flavors are incredible and the meat is always fall-off-the-bone tender. I love serving it with some mashed potatoes and a side of green beans.

This stew was easy to make and very flavorful. I used lamb stew meat and it turned out so tender. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the broth was delicious. I served it with some crusty bread for dipping and it was a hit with my family.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the meat and vegetables were cooked well and the broth was flavorful. I would recommend adding some additional herbs and spices to taste.

This recipe was easy to follow and the stew was delicious! I used beef chuck roast instead of lamb and it turned out great. The meat was so tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
