Does anyone have a recipe for a Dublin coddle? I had this hearty, simple stew when I visited the city in 2009. I've been looking at some of the recipes online and before I tried one of them, I figured I'd ask here. |

That's a new one on me Dave...never even seen it, much less make it. Looks like you may be on your own experimenting with the coddle.

That's a new one here, too. Guess you need to try a recipe and educate the rest of us. Look foward to learning more about coddle.

I'd never heard of it, so I looked it up. Judging from this: http://homecooking.about.com/od/porkrecipes/r/blpork20.htm - http://homecooking.about.com/od/porkrecipes/r/blpork20.htm , it sounds delicious! ------------- Melissa http://carpelibris.wordpress.com/ - http://carpelibris.wordpress.com/ |

Dublin Coddle This is a very popular dish, especially in Dublin, and has been so for many years. It is nourishing, tasty, economical and warming - what more could you ask? Although it is best made with a good stock - water in which a ham has been boiled, or even a ham bone - a light stock cube will substitute. 1lb/ 500g best sausages 8oz/ 250g streaky bacon 1/2pt/ 300ml/ 1 cup stock or water 6 medium potatoes 2 medium onions salt and pepper (serves four) Cut the bacon into 1in/ 3cm squares. Bring the stock to the boil in a medium saucepan which has a well-fitting lid, add the sausages and the bacon and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and bacon and save the liquid. Cut each sausage into four or five pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut into thick slices. Skin the onions and slice them. Assemble a layer of potatoes in the saucepan, followed by a layer of onions and then half the sausages and bacon. Repeat the process once more and then finish off with a layer of potatoes. Pour the reserved stock over and season lightly to taste. Cover and simmer gently for about an hour. Adjust the seasoning and serve piping hot.

My wife made it for dinner tonight. She used loose sausage instead of the cased that I had in Dublin. She made it on the stove top and made sure to not boil the dish. The dish had a wonderfully rich broth. It was simple, hardy and tasty. The next time that we make it, I'll take some pictures. |

The histories I've read about this dish disagree to some extent. There really isn't any one preferred recipe for this as it may have been originally intended as a way to use up leftover meat(s) on a Thursday before the coming no meat Friday. One thing the various histories seem to agree upon is it was a slow cooked one pot meal that could hold up after many hours of cooking. Corned beef and cabbage is an American thing so yesterday, St Paddy's Day, I made A Dublin Coddle served with Irish Soda Bread although any good bread will do. The recipe I doctored up a bit is simple and delicious: Dublin Coddle with Irish Soda Bread Cut 1 pound thick sliced bacon into 1" pieces and fry in a Dutch Oven until crispy Remove bacon and fry 4 or 5 high quality pork sausages in the bacon fat until well browned. Remove sausages and slice into thirds Pour out bacon and sausage fat leaving 1 or 2 tablespoons Begin layering with thick sliced onion (full rings) Then bacon Then sausage Then large pieces of carrot 2" chunks of rutabaga Large chunks of potato Scatter chopped fresh parsley between each layer, about 1/4 C total Add 2 C ham broth (I used chicken) and bring to a boil on stove top. When broth begins to boil, cover and place in a 300ºF oven for 90 to 120 minutes. It will go longer if you plan on being at the local pub for longer than 2 hrs.  ------------- |

That looks wonderful. Good enough to re-evaluate my opinion of coddling sausages. As a child I lived in fear of coddled sausages. My Gran made them. They did NOT look like that. Grey, watery sausage and potato lumps, the carrots were the highlight. No onion because it 'repeated'. It was an awful awful awful dinner and the green parsley somehow made it all look more billious. She was a good cook and better baker - and her coddled eggs - I think I will share with you all. But those sausages belong in the 1960's kitchen never to see the light of day ever again. This version looks delicious. Thanks gMan. ------------- Resident Peasant |

I'm bumping this should anybody wish to try an "authentic" Irish recipe for St Paddy's day rather than the standard American corned beef with cabbage. |

Melissa, colcannon (along with raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens) is one of my favorite things (apologies to Julie Andrews). I prefer cabbage to kale but they are both fantastic. Add ham (a substitute for Irish "bacon") for a complete meal. If you have Kerrygold Irish butter available, the deep yellow makes a great looking presentation used in the butter "well" in the center. |

Had to laugh, G-man. Until I worked at Ft. Boonesboro, I had no idea there was a cabbage/kale controversy. On two separate occasions we had Irish visitors; both groups Dubliners. The women in both groups insisted that only kale made true colcannon. Could it be a Dublin thing? I dunno. I didn't carry the research any further. Why? Well, you know the Irish: they'll forgive anything but their grudges. So that's one argument I'll stay out of.  ------------- But we hae meat and we can eat And sae the Lord be thanket |

It's a shame our Farmers Market is't open yey, because last year one lady sold the most delicious butter...it would be perfect for this. ------------- Melissa http://carpelibris.wordpress.com/ - http://carpelibris.wordpress.com/ |
