CROCK POT IRISH STEW (DUBLIN CODDLE).



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.

EASY DUBLIN CODDLE

This is a filling and satisfying dish that my kids scarf down, and we enjoy hot or cold. Hot, left over or chilled this is good 'dressed' with whole seed mustard and served as a cold potato salad. If using raw sausages or bacon cook them first.

DUBLIN CODDLE



Dublin Coddle image

This dish always reminds me of cold winter nights in our flat in Ballymun, where my ex-wife used to make this traditional Dublin winter stew. It relies heavily on Irish sausage and bacon, so try and use these, if you can. If not, use a low-fat bacon, such as Canadian bacon, and a plain uncooked breakfast sausage. Because of the milk, this is sometimes referred to as a white stew.

1 quart chicken stock
1 quart whole milk

  • Heat the reserved drippings to the Dutch oven over low heat along with the crumbled bacon and sausages. Add the onions and carrots; cook and stir until the onions soften, 7 to 10 minutes.

DUBLIN CODDLE IRISH SAUSAGE, BACON, ONION & POTATO HOTPOT RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Dublin Coddle Irish Sausage, Bacon, Onion & Potato Hotpot Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Tabatha

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 pounds potatoes
2 large onions, peeled and sliced thickly
1 pound pork sausages
1 pound bacon, piece thick cut
2 1/2 cups water
1 ham, beef or chicken stock cube
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Salt, to taste
Coarse ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes. Cut large ones into three or four pieces, leave smaller ones whole. Finely chop the parsley. Boil the water and in it dissolve the bouillon cube. Grill or broil the sausages and bacon. Be careful not to dry them out. Drain briefly on paper towels. When drained, chop the bacon into one inch pieces. If you like, chop the sausages into large pieces as well. Preheat the oven to 300°F. In a large flameproof heavy pot with a tight lid, start layering the onions, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. Season each layer liberally with fresh-ground pepper and the chopped fresh parsley. Continue until the ingredients are used up. Pour the bouillon mixture over the top. On the stove, bring the liquid to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down and cover the pot. (You may like to additionally put a layer of foil underneath the pot lid to help seal it.) Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three to four hours. At the two-hour point, check the pot and add more water if necessary. There should be about an inch of liquid at the bottom of the pot at all times. To Serve. Guinness, bottled or draft, goes extremely well with this dish (indeed, adding a little to the pot toward the end of the process wouldn't hurt anything). Another good accompaniment is fresh soda bread, used to mop up the gravy!
