Recipe for Irish dish Dublin coddle in an Instant pot and clow cooker

Dublin coddle is classic Irish comfort food, a one-pot stew full of flavors your whole family will love. The basic pantry ingredients and simplicity of the dish make this St. Partick's Day recipe popular all year round.

Irish Cuisine

With all due respect, Ireland is not best known for its cuisine, except for a few dishes, including fish and chips and this Dublin Coddle.

It's easy, hearty, delicious, and more traditional than corned beef, which is rather Irish-American. I think this flavorful stew is a perfect way to celebrate Ireland. With a side of melontini, of course. 😉

This coddle [to cook gently] is a breeze to make in your slow cooker or on the stovetop, but I opted for my Instant Pot to justify its price. And because it's super easy to clean. But mostly because of its price.

You don't pay that much for a small appliance and not use it. I'm mostly telling this to myself because I tend to forget it even though it's sitting on my counter. It takes time to teach an old dog a new trick.

Since I had it, I only used it twice. For this Dublin coddle and the garlic lemon chicken (which was also super tasty, by the way).

From what I've heard, and correct me if I'm wrong my Irish friends, coddle is a dish which is often made to use up leftovers, and therefore without a specific recipe. I'd love you to share your family's coddle recipe with me.

Cooking Methods:

Instant Pot

Select "Sauté" to pre-heat the Instant Pot. When the word "Hot" appears on display add the bacon and sausage and cook without the lid, occasionally stirring, until bacon is crisp and sausage is browned. Press "Cancel" to turn the cooker off.
Add the potatoes, onions, carrots, and garlic. Pour broth over all ingredients. Season with black pepper. Note: Between the bacon, sausage, and broth the dish will be salty enough.
Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Select "Manual" and set the timer (+/- button) to 20 minutes.
When time is up, open the lid using Quick Release (press "Cancel" and then turn the steam release handle on the lid to the "Venting" position.
Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Slow Cooker

In a large skillet, brown the bacon and sausage over medium heat.
In the slow cooker, add the potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic, and browned bacon and sausage.
Pour broth over all ingredients. Season with black pepper. Note: Between the bacon, sausage, and broth the dish will be salty enough.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
