Crock Pot Irish Stew Dublin Coddle Recipes

Steps:

• Put a dash of Oil in a pan (we use our Wok) and heat adding the garlic and onion. Sear the stewing beef in the pan adding the worcestershire sauce. Cook for 5 minutes or until the beef is browned.
• In your crock pot or stock pot add 1 L of chicken stock. Prepare vegatables and add.
• Slice Sausage (into bite sized slices), bacon and add to pot.
• Add pearl barley, herbs and sugar and stir.
• Add the Stew Beef and contents of the Wok to pot/crock pot. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
• A quick check will tell you how much of the second litre of chicken stock to add (enough to cover the contents of the crock/stock pot is all you need.).
• Close to serving time we like to check the consistency and using corn starch and a little water thicken up to the desired texture.
• Working long days this dish works for us when popped in the crock pot for 5 to 7 hours. When we cook it on the stove it takes about 3 to 5 on a low simmer.
• We enjoy our stew with dinner buns, but from experience Irish Soda bread works really well. I will put a recipe up for this soon also. Please enjoy and look forward to your comments. Deb and John.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. Cut large ones into three or four pieces: leave smaller ones whole. Finely chop the parsley. Boil the water and in it dissolve the bouillon cube.
• Grill or broil the sausages and bacon long enough to colour them. Be careful not to dry them out! Drain briefly on paper towels. When drained, chop the bacon into one-inch pieces. If you like, chop the sausages into large pieces as well. (Some people prefer to leave them whole.).
• Preheat the oven to 300F / 150°C In a large flameproof heavy pot with a tight lid, start layering the ingredients: onions, bacon, sausages or sausage pieces, potatoes. Season each layer liberally with fresh-ground pepper and the chopped fresh parsley. Continue until the ingredients are used up. Pour the bouillon mixture over the top. On the stove, bring the liquid to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down and cover the pot. (You may like to additionally put a layer of foil underneath the pot lid to help seal it.).
• Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three hours. (Four or five hours won't hurt it.) At the two-hour point, check the pot and add more water if necessary. There should be about an inch of liquid at the bottom of the pot at all times.
• To Serve. Guinness, bottled or draft, goes extremely well with this dish (indeed, adding a little to the pot toward the end of the process wouldn't hurt anything). Another good accompaniment is fresh soda bread, used to mop up the gravy!

Steps:

• If you buy Lamb Shoulder with bone, go ahead and cut the meat off the bone and remove as much fat as you can, not all but enough to make it lean. Salt and pepper the Lamb to taste and coat with flour and add to the crockpot.
• Chop the onion into large chunks ( I cut the onion in half then chop each half into thirds and then in half). Then Chop your carrots and Celery and add to the crock pot.
• In a large bowl mix the bottle of beer and the can of Chicken stock together with the Rosemary, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Vinegar (if choosing to add that). pour over the contents of the crock pot.
• Dice the Potatoes into bite size pieces and add to the crock pot and cover cooking on low for 7 hours.
• After 7 hours on low mix cornstarch with some liquid from crock pot until there are no chunks or cornstarch left, then mix into crock pot and let cook for an additional 1 hour on low.
• Serve and enjoy. Go ahead and season with salt & pepper to taste, or if you want an additional flavor added to ahead and use seasoned salt.
• (Now in the picture I didn't add the flour or cornstarch because I wanted it as a soup, but If you want a nice stew go ahead and add them. If you feel like it's going to be a little too thin still you can add less Chicken stock, but I feel like it tastes great as a soup).

Steps:

• Cut 1/2 pound or 1 pound bacon slices into 2 inch lengths, or cut piece of bacon into thick slices and into 2 inch lengths. Brown bacon in a heavy frying pan. Drain on paper towels. Prick 1/2 to 1 pound sausages and brown in frying pan. Drain along with bacon.
• Arrange bacon and sausages in a casserole or heavy kettle.
• Slice onions and arrange on bacon and sausages. Pare and slice potatoes and place on top of onions. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Sprinkle layers of onions and potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. The amount will depend on saltiness of bacon and sausage.
• Pour off all but a tablespoon or two of the drippings in the frying pan. Add 1 cup of water to drippings and bring to a boil. Pour over Coddle. If needed, add additional water until almost to the top of the potatoes. Cover and bake in a moderate oven 350 F., until potatoes and onions are very tender, about 1 hour. Uncover for last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking and brown slightly, if desired.
• Traditionally, Coddle is simmered on top of the stove instead of in the oven. Serve with Irish Soda Bread or homemade whole wheat bread. Makes 6 servings.
• Soups and Stews The World Over.

Steps:

• Cut lamb into 1-inch pieces. In a large skillet brown pieces, half at a time, in hot oil. Drain well.
• Meanwhile combine turnips, carrots, potatoes, onions, tapioca, salt, pepper and thyme in a 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 quart crock pot. Stir in browned lamb and beef broth.
• Cover; cook on LO setting for 10-12 hours (or on HI setting for 5-6 hours).

Steps:

• Heat some oil in a pan, add onions and garlic and fry until soft.
• Put sausages, bacon, potatoes, and carrots in the pan with the onions and garlic.
