Ingredients
- 4 Irish sausages (or your preferred sausages)

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon parsley (fresh or dried)

Steps to Make Rustic Dublin Coddle with Sausage and Potatoes
- Brown the Sausages and Bacon:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the sausages and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside with the sausages.
- Cook the Onions and Garlic:
- In the same pot, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Assemble the Coddle:
- Return the sausages and bacon to the pot with the onions and garlic.
- Add the sliced potatoes, chicken broth, white wine (if using), thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed.
- Serve the Rustic Dublin Coddle hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
