IRISH CODDLE



Irish Coddle image

Like many traditional dishes, the recipe for Irish coddle (also known as Dublin coddle) varies widely from family to family. Born in 1700s inner-city Dublin tenements, it's a grab-what-you-have kind of stew that simmers low and slow to peak deliciousness. The building blocks of the dish--bacon, sausage, onions, potatoes and plenty of parsley and black pepper--add up to more than the sum of their parts, creating a dark, flavorful broth and an incredibly warm bowl of nourishment. Serving with slices of soda bread is a must and adding a splash of Ireland's favorite beer, while optional, is very highly recommended!

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound Cumberland sausage or any mild pork sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large white onions, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup Irish stout, such as Guinness, optional
Irish soda bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Add the bacon to a large Dutch oven and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat renders, about 10 minutes. Add the sausage and increase the heat to medium high. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon and sausage are nicely browned, about 10 more minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon and sausage to a plate.
  • Drain the fat from the pot and return it to medium heat. Add the onions, a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup water. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom and sides of the pot, then sprinkle the onions with 1 tablespoon of the parsley and plenty of black pepper. Layer the bacon and sausage over the onions and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley and more black pepper. Layer the potatoes over the meat and add enough water to submerge everything but the potatoes, about 2 cups. Season the potato layer with a pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley. Bring the liquid to a boil (don't stir!), then cover and transfer to the oven. Bake, checking halfway to add more water if needed, until the onions are very tender and caramelized and the liquid has reduced slightly, about 2 hours.
  • Finish with a pour of stout, if using, and a final garnish of the remaining parsley. Serve immediately with soda bread.

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ pound thick-cut bacon slices (diced)
1 pound Irish sausages bangers (or any other high-quality pork sausage)
2 large onions (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup stout beer (optional)
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and quartered)
4 cups chicken broth
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
⅓ cup chopped parsley
Kosher salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300ºF.
  • Place a large Dutch Oven on the stove, over medium-high heat, and add the diced bacon. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove into a paper towel-lined plate, to soak up the excess grease. Reserve.
  • Add the sausages and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and reserve.
  • Discard most of the fat rendered in the pot, leaving just a couple tablespoons. Add the onions and sauté until beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes. You can add a little vegetable oil, if needed. Then, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Optional: Pour the beer to deglaze the pot, cooking and scraping all the browned bits from the bottom, until almost all evaporated. Remove the onions and reserve.
  • Remove the Dutch Oven from the heat.
  • Add half the potatoes to the bottom of the pot. Season with black pepper and sprinkle some chopped parsley. Then, add half the onions and top with half the cooked bacon. Repeat with another potato layer seasoned with pepper and parsley, followed by onions and bacon. Finish by layering the sausages, whole or cut into chunks.
  • Pour the chicken broth. Bring the pot back to the stove and bring to a boil, over medium-high heat.
  • Cover and transfer the pot to the oven. Cook for at least 2 hours (and up to 4 hours), checking every now and then to see if more liquid needs to be added. There should be at least 1 inch of liquid at the bottom of the pot at all times, to prevent burning.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Garnish with more parsley and serve!

Saturday night supper for the Dublin working man was a traditional dish in his family. The amount of bacon and sausage would depend on the financial circumstances at the moment. Original Dublin versions didn't call for browning the meat, but most American versions do.

DUBLIN CODDLE - IRISH SAUSAGE, BACON, ONION AND POTATO HOTPOT



Dublin Coddle - Irish Sausage, Bacon, Onion and Potato Hotpot image

This traditional supper dish of sausages, bacon, onions and potatoes dates back at least as far as the early eighteenth century. It seems to be more of a city dish than a rural one: it was a favourite of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels and dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. In Dublin itself, coddle retains its reputation as a dish that can be prepared ahead of time and left in a very slow oven while the people who're going to eat it have to be out of the house for a while - making it an excellent dish for very busy people! The name of the dish is probably descended from the older word caudle, derived from a French word meaning "to boil gently, parboil, or stew". The more recent version of the verb, "coddle," is still applied to gently cooked eggs, "Coddled Eggs". Please note, the sausages used should be the best quality 100% pork sausages you can get your hands on! This recipe would also work VERY well if cooked in a crock-pot, reduce the liquid by about half if cooking the coddle this way. Serve with Guinness and Irish soda bread. Although this is an easy to prepare one pot meal and its simplicity belies its amazing taste and flavour - comfort food at its best! Sláinte.

Categories     Stew

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 kg potatoes
2 large onions, peeled and sliced thickly
450 g good quality pork sausages
450 g bacon, piece thick cut
500 ml water
1 beef or 1 chicken stock cube, if ham stock isn't available
3 -4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt (to season)
coarse-ground pepper (to season)

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 long enough to colour them. 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. (Some people prefer to leave them whole.).
  • Preheat the oven to 300F / 150°C In a large flameproof heavy pot with a tight lid, start layering the ingredients: onions, bacon, sausages or sausage pieces, 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 hours. (Four or five hours won't hurt it.) 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!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sausage: The sausage is the star of the show in Dublin coddle, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and has a nice balance of spices.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: The sausage should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked sausage will be tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Dublin coddle is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or cabbage.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is what gives Dublin coddle its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken stock, beef stock, or vegetable stock.
  • Season the coddle well: Dublin coddle should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Let the coddle simmer: Dublin coddle is a slow-cooked dish, so it's important to let it simmer for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat and vegetables to become tender.

Conclusion:

Dublin coddle is a delicious and hearty Irish stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give Dublin coddle a try.
