Dublin Coddle

Dublin Coddle is a classic Irish comfort food which is almost always served with a hearty, crusty bread.

This is a traditional Irish stew originating from Dublin. It is a hearty dish made with sausages, bacon, potatoes, onions and carrots. The ingredients are simmered together in a flavorful broth, seasoned with a bouquet garni, garlic and black pepper.
