Coddle

Total Time: 2 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 6 large potatoes
• 2 large onions
• 500 g about 8 lamb sausages
• 500 g offcuts bacon

Recipe

• 1 peel potatoes and cut into quarters, cut onions into quarters, cut sausage into bitesize chunks and dice the bacon.
• 2 place everything into a large pot and cover with water, bring to the boil. spoon off any fat that rises to the top and reduce too a simmer.
• 3 leave to simmer for about 2/3 hours stirring every so often until the potato breaks down into a mush. add little amounts of water if it gets too thick, i usually serve it up when it has a nice thick consistency.
• 4 sometimes i like to add in an extra onion and another potato or two cut into chunks about a half hour before serving to give it a bit of bite.
• 5 **note** this is coddle made the traditional way, there are a few variations on the theme. some like to add a bit of celery, others put a bit of beef stock in to colour the sausages. personally i wouldn't do either, the only thing i add on the odd occasion is a bit of pudding crumbled inches also, if you use the bacon offcuts this shouldn't need any extra salt, just a grind of pepper when you serve. enjoy!
