Dublin Coddle
Nothing is more comforting than a big bowl of delicious warm stew like this incredibly easy Dublin Coddle. You’ll be surprised as to how few ingredients you need to make this and how quickly it all comes together. This is one incredibly tasty stew that’s perfect for your St. Patrick’s Day dinner or really for any time of the year when you’re craving comfort food. This Irish stew is a simple stew of bacon, sausage, potatoes and onion. Simplicity at its finest. This dish is the best example of how just a few simple ingredients yields the most flavorful food. This is a great stew loaded with lots of great flavors, best served with some crusty bread!
Bacon – You’ll need lots of bacon or pork rashers as called in Ireland, a pound of it to be exact. As we know bacon makes everything better, so it will truly add a lot of flavor to this stew. Pork Sausages – You’ll need a pound of fresh pork sausages. Use your favorite, I actually used breakfast sausages, lots of great flavor. Potatoes – I recommend either Yukon gold potatoes or Russets, since I think these are best for stews. Carrots – Carrots aren’t usually traditional to this dish, so it’s up to you if you add them or not, but I love carrots in my stew. Onion – An essential flavor enhancer to any stew. Yellow, white or red onion will work. Chicken Broth – I like to use a low sodium chicken broth, especially in this stew since there will be lots of salt from the bacon. You can also use a vegetarian broth or even beef broth. Guinness Stout– In my opinion, this beer is the star of the dish. You’ll be surprised as to how much flavor this will add to the stew. Salt And Pepper – You’ll need some salt and black pepper to taste. Be careful with the salt, since there will be a lot of sodium from the bacon.
Dublin Coddle In The Instant Pot
Don’t want to wait 3 hours for this to slowly cook in the oven? No problem! Basically, cook the bacon and sausage directly in the Instant Pot on Saute mode as instructed. Next, all you have to do is add the remaining ingredients, and cook for 35 minutes on high pressure. That’s it!
Dublin Coddle In The Slow Cooker
This coddle is perfect for the slow cooker because it’s meant to be cooked slowly. The slower you cook your food the more flavor it’s going to have, or so they say. To make this stew in the slow cooker, simply follow the instructions in the recipe to cook the bacon and sausage then add everything to the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or HIGH for 4 to 6 hours.
What Is A Dublin Coddle
Dublin Coddle is actually an Irish stew consisting of layers of bacon, pork sausages, onions and potatoes then slowly braised in a broth to perfection. It’s a simple pork and potato stew with loads of flavor.
Leftovers
Allow the coddle to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat it either on the stove top or in the oven at 300°F for 30 minutes or until heated through. I don’t recommend freezing this stew because potatoes tend to get mushy once frozen and reheated, however, you can safely store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer.
