Grandma's Dublin Coddle


I remember having this Dublin Coddle at my Irish Grandma's cottage many times. A Dublin Coddle is a traditional Irish comfort dish that can be found on many Irish tables on any given day in the week. The traditional recipe has Irish potatoes, sausage and bacon that is made into a stew. My Grandparents grew cabbage on their farm so my Grandma added cabbage to her Dublin Coddle, giving it a wonderful flavor. This is a great dish that brings back so many memories for me, my family always gets excited when I make this recipe.

Ingredients
1 pound bacon, cut in small pieces
6 Bratwurst Sausage
8 cups Irish potatoes, sliced in 1/2 inch slices
1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 large yellow onions, sliced
10 cups cabbage, sliced in large strips
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup of beer or 1 cup of apple juice
2 tablespoon cider apple vinegar
Directions
In a hot skillet cook the bacon until crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
In the hot skillet with the bacon fat, brown the Bratwurst Sausage, do not cook, just brown.
Remove the Bratwurst Sausage to a plate and set aside.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat into a heavy dutch oven, making sure the bottom is completely covered.
Place the sliced potatoes on top of the bacon fat in the dutch oven.
Sprinkle the pepper on top of the potatoes.
Place the onions into the hot skillet with the remaining bacon fat and saute the onions, just until starting to brown.
Remove the onions and place them on top of the potatoes.
Place the cabbage into the hot skillet with the bacon fat and cook it until the cabbage is wilted.
Place the cabbage on top of the onions in the dutch oven.
Next we will make the sauce that goes into the stew.
Mix the chicken broth, beer or apple juice and apple cider vinegar together in a mixing pitcher.
Place the flour into the skillet and start to cook it. Slowly pour in 2 cups of the liquid to make a sauce. When the sauce is thicken then pour it over the top of the cabbage in the dutch oven.
Place the crisp bacon pieces on top of the cabbage.
Place the Bratwurst Sausage on top of the bacon for the last layer.
Pour the remaining liquid around the edge of the dutch oven.
Place the lid on the dutch oven.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees and cook for 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
Enjoy!

    This sounds amazing, but then bacon makes everything better. I personally love the cabbage layer.

    Sounds fantastic. When you put the flour in the skillet, are you adding it to the remaining bacon fat to make a rue before adding the liquid? Want to try this Soon!

      Hi Bee,
      Yes that is correct, we would call it a rue in the remaining bacon fat. I am so glad you are going to make the recipe and hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!

    I've got Irish in my blood, too, so this is great, especially since I've had some smoked sausage in the fridge just waiting - what do you think about using red cabbage?

    Thank you so much for this recipe Miz Helen. My mom's dad was first generation American Irish, and thank heaven his mom's cooking influenced my mom as she was learning to cook. My mom's mom was mostly English and made lots of boiled meat and pretty much everything she made was boiled to death, according to my mom. My mom at least learned to oven roast things with potatoes and other vegetables, especially cabbage. I can hardly wait to try it and share it with my daughter.

    This looks great. Could you adapt the baking part to a slow cooker? Maybe start on high and turn to low?

      I have made it in a slow cooker and although it was ok, I didn't feel it was as good, the flavor wasn't quiet the same. When I did it in the Slow Cooker I just cooked it on low for 6 hours. Sure hope you enjoy the recipe and thanks so much for stopping by the cottage for a visit!
