AN EASY IRISH STEW RECIPE
Hello thare Monday! Today’s meat and potatoes isbrought to you by the Irish! Easy, real food, homemade, comforting stew.
By the way, hope your week is off to a great start! Mondays are so hard, especially when the clock moves 1 hour forward. Ugh… Truth? I feel so sleepy right now. Like, jet lagged or somethin’. WELP!
I can’t even remember how I got through getting the little ones ready for school this morning… I was half-asleep.
…which might also have something to do with binge watching The People v. O.J. Simpson,last night.At least I’m caught up! (ANDhooked!)
I have two things to say today:‘Lo there, friends! Supwcha der, sham!? That’s probably all I know in Irish slang, but I’m also just stating the obvious – it’s Irish week! St. Pat’s is around the corner and Dublin Coddle is in order. ☘☘☘
WHAT IS A DUBLIN CODDLE?
Have you ever had a Dublin Coddle? I have a very off-the-boat Irish uncle and you better believe that this amazing stew happens often, but it doesn’t happen often enough. A mess that starts with sausages and bacon, and ends with flavorful and soft layered potatoes… GIMME!!
Maybe it’s too obvious, but I SO love layered casseroles, all in one pot, and in the oven. All the work I have to do takes up just a cutting board and a knife. The rest is done by our bestie, the oven.
Besides the truth that it’s easy to make, and it’s the most cozy and comforting food known to humans, it is themost delicious hearty Irish dish that will warm your heart and your belleh.
Honestly though? You would be wise to make this happen if you’re into the whole Irishand St. Patty’s thing. No. Scratch that. If you love damn good food, you should just go into the kitchen, walk in there right now, and make it. AND, you guys will want to eat it forever.
THEEEE END.
ENJOY!

Coddle (sometimes Dublin coddle; Irish: cadal) is an Irish dish which is often made to use up leftovers. It most commonly consists of layers of roughly sliced pork sausages and rashers (thinly sliced, somewhat-fatty back bacon) with chunky potatoes, sliced onion, salt, pepper, and herbs (parsley or chives).
Irish stew, "ballymaloe" or "stobhach gaelach" as it is called in Gaelic, traditionally contains chunks of lamb or mutton (less tender meat from sheep more than two years of age), potatoes, onions and parsley. Often the neck bones, shanks and other trimmings were the only basis for the stock.
Dublin Coddle is a traditional Irish dish that originated in Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. It is a hearty and warming stew-like dish that is typically made with pork sausages, bacon, onions, and potatoes.
The origins of Irish stew are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but it's believed to have originated in the 17th or 18th century. At that time, the dish was often made by shepherds and rural farmers who had access to only a few ingredients but needed a nourishing meal to sustain them through long days of work.
Representative dishes include Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, boxty, brown bread (as it is referred to in the South) or soda bread (predominantly used in Ulster), coddle, and colcannon.
The word “Coddle” derives from the French term caudle which means to boil gently, parboil or stew. Apparently, coddle dates back to the first Irish famine in the late 1700s where anything to hand got thrown into the pot.
Great Famine, famine that occurred in Ireland in 1845–49 when the potato crop failed in successive years. The crop failures were caused by late blight, a disease that destroys both the leaves and the edible roots, or tubers, of the potato plant.
In addition to chuck beef and Guinness Beer, here are the other ingredients in Irish Stew. Flour and tomato paste – to thicken sauce and the tomato paste also adds some flavour; Guinness Beer and broth/liquid stock – the braising liquids.
Stouts, like Guinness, are known for their bitterness. If the stew is cooked too quickly or if it doesn't include ingredients to balance the bitterness, this flavor can be very pronounced.
Coddle is made of potatoes (of course!), and usually some meat scraps, bacon, sausage, maybe Guinness and random root vegetables like onions and carrots. As with colcannon, boxty, champ, and other colorfully named Irish foods, coddle is what you make on the day after the big dinner the night before.
Featuring Irish sausages, bacon, black and white pudding, eggs, Irish soda bread, and more additions depending on where you are in the country, full Irish breakfasts are easily the most popular breakfast anywhere in Ireland. Originally published in March 2021, updated in June 2023.
