Coddle - the cheap Dublin Dinner

Coddle is a great meal for lots of people who want to eat for nothing. It's an old dublin meal, and while no one's making any claims that this is the best coddle recipe in the world (see various Avoca/Irish speciality cookbooks),this is a recipe you can stick on with no hassle.

Serves 4-6

1 pack of Sausages.
1 pack of rashers
3-4 big potatoes
3 carrots
1 onion
water

To cook this, you'll need a knife, a chopping board and a big pot.
A cooker's handy too.

Peel the potatoes, chop'em into 1cm thick slices
Peel the carrots, chop'em into 1 cm thick slices
Cut the rashers into 1cm wide strips
Cut the sausages into 2 cm chunks.

Throw everything into your big pot, and fill it up with water. Cook for at least an hour. (if you have a pressure cooker, you can do it in much shorter.)

Enjoy this before heading out to picket the docks, and listen to a speech by James Larkin.

  1. Always used to throw a few spoonfuls of Bisto in at the end of cooking, makes it tastier. The effect is like a very lumpy gravy.
