Coddle is an Irish dish which is often made to use up leftovers, and therefore without a specific recipe. However, it most commonly consists of layers of roughly sliced sausages and rashers with chunky potatoes, sliced onion, salt, pepper, and herbs. This is a twist on it!

A spicy take on the famous Irish dish
Ingredients
Nan bread
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Coddle
- 2 sausages
- 2 slices bacon - if you can get it, I find it hard
- 12 small carrots (I grew Paris, lovely taste, perfect size)
- 1 shallot/small onion
- 1 large potato (i prefer skin left on)
- 1/3 lemon (squeezed)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tsp chilli
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander (cilantro)
- 2 stock cubes
- 1/2 litre water
Instructions
Nan
- Theres probably better way to do this but works well for me
- Mix the flour, water and salt in a bowl. Add more flour if its too gluey/wet. (Use sieve!)
- Mix well, with a wooden spoon, then with your fingers when its not too wet. Work well for a few minutes, then divide in two.
- Roll each piece and put to the side until coddle is nearly ready
- Press out the dough like a pizza - i find better to use your fingers than to roll
- Add some olive oil to the pan and when nice and hot throw one on (both if pan big enough)
- Spin them occasionally, and turn after a couple minutes (it should have a nice golden colour with some darker parts)
- Sometimes they'll puff up real nice, other times you'll just get a delicious flat bread
Coddle
- Slice up the onion to your preference. Like wise whatever carrots you use. Potatoes I like sliced into disks about a cm thick
- Add the olive oil to the saucepan and the onion
- When the onion has browned nicely add the garlic and all your spices, and let cook for a couple mins mixing occasionally
- Add the water - preferable boiled, and add the stock pots
- Add the carrots and potatoes
- While they are simmering away get a pan and fry the sausages
- When the sausages are nearly browned all round I like to take the potatoes out and give them a quick fry to harden up the outside
- Add the potatoes and sausages back in to the pot
- Add the lemon and leave to simmer
- Now return to the Nans and cook them
- Serve up with an extra sprinkle of chilli and coriander
