Dublin Coddle Irish Sausage Bacon Onion Potato Hotpot Recipe 415 Food

DUBLIN CODDLE

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!

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

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!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a large, oven-proof pot with a lid, brown the sausages and bacon until sausage is browned and bacon is just crispy. Drain briefly on paper towels and remove most of the grease from the pot. If desired, cut the sausages into large chunks.
• Layer the ingredients in the same pot as follows: half of the onions, bacon, sausage and potatoes. Sprinkle with half of the parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining half of the ingredients.
• Pour the beef broth over the top. On the stove top, bring the liquid to a boil. (You may not be able to see the broth in the bottom of the pot, but you'll be able to hear when it boils).
• Remove from heat and cover the pot. Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three hours (or up to 4 or 5 hours).
• About half-way through cooking, check the pot and add more water if necessary. There should be about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot at all times.
• Serve with bread for mopping up the juices.

IRISH CODDLE

Steps:

• Cut 1/2 pound or 1 pound bacon slices into 2 inch lengths, or cut piece of bacon into thick slices and into 2 inch lengths. Brown bacon in a heavy frying pan. Drain on paper towels. Prick 1/2 to 1 pound sausages and brown in frying pan. Drain along with bacon.
• Arrange bacon and sausages in a casserole or heavy kettle.
• Slice onions and arrange on bacon and sausages. Pare and slice potatoes and place on top of onions. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Sprinkle layers of onions and potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. The amount will depend on saltiness of bacon and sausage.
• Pour off all but a tablespoon or two of the drippings in the frying pan. Add 1 cup of water to drippings and bring to a boil. Pour over Coddle. If needed, add additional water until almost to the top of the potatoes. Cover and bake in a moderate oven 350 F., until potatoes and onions are very tender, about 1 hour. Uncover for last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking and brown slightly, if desired.
• Traditionally, Coddle is simmered on top of the stove instead of in the oven. Serve with Irish Soda Bread or homemade whole wheat bread. Makes 6 servings.
