How to Make Irish (Dublin) Coddle

[@conordorrian1652]

Once a crowd of us went camping along the upper Delaware river , mixture of Irish and Americans.I was sort of the designated cook. There were about 10 Dubs among us , one was a good friend of mine he always raved about " coddle"..I got the recipe and the first morning of the trip we were going to canoe down the river.I got up early ( that's a lie , never got to bed drinking and singing till the sun came up) I started to make a 30 gallon pot of coddle, never mentioned to my Dub companions. Hours later, of course everyone ravoness after the trip. I put on the coddle beside the fire..All the Dubs got very emotional 😢... There were Polish people beside us and because of the singing and drinking etc we shared out the coddle...... Friends for life....😊

What a lovely story. Jesus, 30 gallons of coddle 😂🤘

I am a Canadian who lived 2 years with my wife and kids in Dublin, I can tell you that you are very right, the Irish make the best sausages (among other things!!)

[@miss_sunshine25]

I just started reading the book, "AN IRISH DOCTOR IN LOVE AND AT SEA". The first line in the story is, "The Dublin coddle had been cooked to perfection..." And here I am. I can't wait to try it. Thank you. ❤️

So glad to hear someone speak to how a Southsude Coddle was made, plain but delicious, and let it go all day, and just add to it as and when. Nothing better on a cold day! And agree, Irish sausages are the best.

This bring back so many memories of my mum, she would make us coddle a lot and we all loved it mum never put onion in it as she didn’t like onion and although she boiled ie in a pressure cooker she would add an oxo to it as she didn’t like it white, she passed away 2007 but I make this some times but I too brown the bacon and sausage off a bit. Must try it with an onion next time I make it.

My stepdad ( he was from Michigan) made a dish similar to this except in place of the sausages he used ham, and he also added cabbage. He called it boiled dinner. Looks delish! 😊

[@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen]

Aww, bacon and cabbage, so delicious especially if you could get the dark green cabbage. Yes, very similar 😊

[@weedeater3]

My Grandmother, originally from Canada, then moved to Michigan, did the same! I think she added carrots also.

[@cindyb8775]

@@weedeater3 as did my step dad, I believe. I left that detail out. I never tried to make it. as simple as it was, I felt like I couldn't ever get it close to his or my mother's. Miss it. Strangely enough, my step dad liked his eaten with Peanut Butter sandwiches. not sure about that combo.

[@Alverant]

I discovered a recipe for coddle last month and made it twice. All the ingredients I used were on sale at the time except the stock which I made myself using leftover chicken bones. It was delicious. What I do is cook the bacon all the way and save the fat for later. I also threw in half a head of savoy cabbage for extra bulk. Using ground sausage with sage works well too so you don't have big chunks.

Sounds amazing, thanks for the tip 😊

Hi Gráinne

[@graceanne385]

Grainne, I generally love your recipes but this was disappointing. Coddle is my favorite dish ever. I was born and raised in Dublin and it was a staple. I make it only when I have Irish sausages. I would never ever brown the meat for a coddle. It should never have a caramelized flavor. It should have that unique boiled sausage and bacon flavour. That’s what makes it coddle, cooked slow and low...and boiled. The meat flavors the entire dish as it renders its fat and juices into the broth as it cooks. Frying the meat first and not adding the renderings depletes the flavour....and where is the thyme and white pepper. Carrots are also optional but commonly used.

[@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen]

Hi Gráinne, sorry if it wasn't as authentic as it should be. As I said I wasn't born in Dublin so I stumbled across this recipe when I made it for the elderly. I appreciate your comment though, this is how you learn. 😊

[@johnobrien2340]

no no no no no no no..never ever brown the sausages or precook the bacon, that is not a coddle,, you loose all the flavour from the meat. also the broth will not be absorb inside the sausages if you pre cook them..and the broth fill ed white sausages are the best part of this dish..this is NOT a coddle!

[@riverstun]

As an Irish person, I have to say that Irish sausages are a disaster. They use rusk and fat as filler, to stretch them out, and mostly taste of white pepper and fat. I would say that for a regular sausage, Italian is the best. Meaty, Juicy, chewy. But the Germans have a huge variety, and the best sausages of my life were at a village "pfarrfest", where they served up grilled bratwurst. They are about an inch in diameter, use caraway and other flavorings, are almost pure meat, with a great coarse texture, and are parboiled first to increase juiciness. I had an Californian girl over once to visit, and we stopped off at a pub for sausages and chips, and she was revolted by the sausages. (although we ate at another pub in Slane and she had a BLT and said it was the best of her life - Irish bacon truly IS the best). Seriously, our sausages are great if you like bread and white pepper. You can get better sausages today - less bread in them, and less white pepper - but they arent what we grew up with.
