Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces thick pork sausages
- 8 slices bacon (preferably thick-cut)
- 2 pieces large onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 4 pieces large potatoes
- 3 pieces carrots
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil
Instructions
Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter or oil.
Brown the sausages lightly on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.
Add the bacon slices to the same pot and cook until they are lightly crisp. Remove and set aside with the sausages.
Slice the onions and garlic, and sauté them in the leftover fat in the pot until they are soft and translucent.
Peel and slice the potatoes and carrots into thick rounds.
Layer the potatoes, carrots, onions, sausages, and bacon in the pot, starting with a layer of potatoes at the bottom.
Season each layer lightly with salt and black pepper.
Pour the chicken or vegetable stock over the layers until it just covers the ingredients.
Bring the coddle to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Reduce the heat to low and let it cook slowly for about 90 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender, and the flavors have melded together.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and accompanied by crusty bread or soda bread.
