Irish Dublin Coddle Crock Pot Version – A St. Patrick’s Day Recipe

I thought my step dad made up the word coddle. It just sounds made up, doesn’t it? Then I grew up and discovered Google; coddle was one of the first things I searched for. Turns out he not only didn’t make it up but it’s actually a very popular traditional Irish dish. My mom used to make Dublin Coddle on poker night and my dad would eat it the next morning. He called it his hangover cure.

I’ve never tested the effectiveness of Dublin Coddle for a hangover but with all the carbohydrates in it I can see how energy wouldn’t be a problem. That and the fact that Irish women have been making this for decades leads me to believe it works! Dublin Coddle is often made by Irish wives on nights their husbands frequent the pubs. Since it can be left simmering on the stove the wives can go to bed instead of waiting up to make sure the men eat.

With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner Dublin Coddle will make a great addition to your menu. It’s even better if you have an Irishman in your family! Serve it up with some Irish Soda Bread and a Guinness for a traditional Irish Meal that will leave them reminiscing about the Emerald Isle.
