What Makes Irish Sausage Different?
Irish sausage tends to be made of pork, and includes raw eggs and breadcrumbs in the sausage.
What Is The Difference Between Coddle And Stew?
Coddle, in general, means to cook something slowly and gently just below the boiling point. In this case it is a specific Irish dish comprised of layers of pork sausage, potatoes, and bacon. Whereas a stew, is any combination of foods cooked at or above boiling point in a pot such as a meat with vegetables and broth.
What To Serve With Irish Coddle?
Because this dish is so hearty I advice serving it with a lighter side of vegetables such as the following:
- Oven Roasted Vegetables
- Oven Roasted Beets
- Oven Roasted Carrots
- Oven Roasted Cauliflower
- Oven Roasted Green Beans
- Oven Roasted Broccoli
- Oven Roasted asparagus
Salads also make a wonderful lighter side to pair with this Coddle.
- Apple Salad (One Pot)
- Easy Green Salad (One Bowl)

You can also add a bread of some sort to soak up the yummy liquid in this coddle such as:

- Dinner roll
- Biscuit
- Garlic Bread
- Breadsticks

- Ciabatta
Variations
Vegetarian coddle– Leave out sausage and bacon, or use a vegan meat that you like, and add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, celery, or zucchini. Substitute vegetable stock for beef stock.
Coddle soup– Add more Beef Broth to create a soupier version.
Coddle with cabbage and leeks– Add sliced cabbage and chopped leeks for even more flavor and heartiness.
Add other meat– Such as bratwurst, ham, chicken, beef, or anything else you prefer.
Make it spicy– Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for some spice. You can even top it with your favorite hot sauce too add some heat as well.
Add cheese– Add freshly shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, or white cheddar as a topping.
Add herbs– Such as bay leaves, sage, thyme, or rosemary.
Use sweet potatoes– Instead of white potatoes for a more colorful and slightly sweeter version.
Tips And Techniques
How to thicken coddle? How to make coddle thinner? Continue cooking on Saute mode with the lid off to thicken the coddle. Simply add more broth to make it thinner.
Stout beer substitute– You can just use more beef broth in place of the beer, if you prefer.
I can’t find Irish Sausage?– Use bratwurst instead for a similar feel.
Use low-sodium ingredients– Because this prevents the dish from becoming too salty.
What kind of potato to use? I recommend a large potato like Russet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into big chunks to withstand the pressure of cooking.
What pressure release to use? Use a quick pressure release so as to not overcook the potatoes and make them mushy.
When to add bacon? Add the bacon at the end so that it will remain crispy when eaten in the coddle.
Storage
Refrigerate– In a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze– In a freezer safe container for up to 1 month.
Reheat– From thawed in the microwave.
