🇮🇪 Ireland recipe

Coddle

Coddle is the ultimate Dublin comfort food, a thrifty one-pot supper that has sustained the city's working families since the 18th century. It was famously loved by Jonathan Swift and Sean O'Casey, and it remains a point of fierce local pride. The word coddle means to cook gently in liquid just below boiling point. Layers of sausages, bacon, potatoes, and onions are slowly coddled together until the flavors meld into a savory, homely broth. Every Dublin family claims their version is the authentic one.
