Dublin Coddle is a traditional Irish stew featuring savory pork sausages, crispy back bacon, tender potatoes, and carrots simmered gently in chicken broth and white wine. This hearty and comforting dish blends simple ingredients to create rich flavors, perfect for a cozy family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 4 pork sausages
  • 6 slices of back bacon, chopped

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausages: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the pork sausages until they are nicely browned on all sides. Once cooked, remove them from the pot and set them aside to keep warm.
  2. Cook the Bacon: Add the chopped back bacon to the same pot and cook until it becomes crispy, rendering its fat and adding flavor to the base of the recipe.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pot with the bacon. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and become translucent.
  4. Layer the Vegetables: Arrange the peeled and sliced potatoes and carrots over the bacon and onions inside the pot evenly, forming a layer of vegetables.
  5. Add Liquids and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using) over the vegetables. Sprinkle the thyme, salt, and pepper evenly throughout to season the dish.
  6. Return Sausages and Simmer: Nestle the browned sausages back into the pot, making sure they are partly submerged in the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer gently for about 1 hour until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish the Dublin Coddle with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for a satisfying, traditional Irish meal.

Notes

  • White wine is optional but adds a subtle acidity and depth to the flavor.
  • Use thick-cut back bacon for a more authentic texture and taste.
  • Simmer gently to avoid breaking apart the sausages and vegetables.
  • This recipe can be made in advance; the flavors improve when left to rest overnight.
  • Serve with Irish soda bread for a complete traditional experience.
