Dublin Coddle

A beloved Irish one-pot supper from the heart of Dublin — Dublin Coddle is a humble, deeply comforting dish of layered pork sausages, back bacon, potatoes, and onions slowly simmered together in a savory broth until everything is meltingly tender. Traditionally made on Thursdays (when Catholics abstained from meat on Fridays, this was a way to use up the week's remaining pork), it's been a Dublin working-class staple for centuries. The magic is in its simplicity: no fancy technique, just good ingredients cooked low and slow until the broth turns silky and rich. Serve it in deep bowls with thick slices of soda bread to soak up every drop.
