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.

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.
