Irish Coddle

By Thom7747

Irish coddle ingredients include long pork sausages, bacon in chunks or as thick rasher (the fat left on), potatoes, carrots and whole onions. Peas or barley are sometimes added. Salt and a little pepper are added during cooking and the dish has a strong salty flavor. Sometimes potatoes are cooked separately as they tend to fall apart in the pot and make the soup too thick.

Coddle is best served with crispy bread rolls smeared with thick chilled butter to dip into the soup.

Ingredients

• Potatoes
• Pork sausages
• Bacon chunks or rashers with the fat
• Two medium whole onions pealed
