Cozy up with a taste of Ireland in this heartwarming Dublin Coddle, a traditional Irish sausage and potato stew that’s easy to make and packed with flavor.

This comforting dish is a staple of Irish cuisine, perfect for a chilly evening or a special occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Irish sausage, sliced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3-4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 cup of milk
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons of butter

Instructions

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the sliced Irish sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the chopped potatoes, chicken broth, milk, flour, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Stir well to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until melted.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Don’t overcook the Irish sausage, as it can become tough and dry.

Brown it just until it’s cooked through, and then remove it from the heat.

Use high-quality chicken broth for added depth of flavor.

You can also use beef broth or a combination of the two if you prefer.

If using fresh herbs as a garnish, chop them just before serving to preserve their flavor and color.

You can also make this stew in a slow cooker.

Brown the sausage and cook the onion in a pan, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

For a creamier stew, use more milk or add a splash of heavy cream.

You can also add some grated carrots or diced bell peppers for added flavor and nutrients.

If you can’t find Irish sausage, you can substitute it with a sweet or hot Italian sausage.

Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Reheat gently over low heat, adding more milk or broth if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
