    Food of the World: Dublin Coddle

    Explore the Irish cuisine with Dublin Coddle. A heartwarming meal of meat and potatoes.
     
     
    While reading about Ireland this month, and their cuisine I found that we eat a pretty normal Irish diet. When I think of Ireland and their cuisine the first thing that always comes to my mind is Corned Beef and cabbage.  I was surprised to learn from Diane (Simple Living and Eating) that corned beef isn’t traditionally eaten in Ireland. From all the recipes I came across, I also found this to be true. Not one had corned beef listed. 
     
    I was having a hard time deciding what to make for this months party, because I wanted to try something new, but it seemed like most of the recipes were things we eat on a fairly regular basis. 
     
    • Shepherds Pie
    • Meat and potato stews
    • full breakfast, or “fry up”
    These were all things I grew up on and continue to make for my family.  I know it doesn’t stem from our Irish heritage…because we have no Irish heritage.  I would guess it probably came from my grandma who ate potatoes on a daily basis because they were the most versatile and affordable food during the great depression.  
     
    The only recipe I came across, was something I’d rather never make myself, or probably eat – Black Pudding. So I kept searching, and came across Dublin Coddle. I stuck with a very basic recipe, and although a good meal, I wish I had added a few more herbs or spices to it.  It was a bit bland, but one that was easy to put together.

    Menu Plan 3/11

    We had a Pork Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and Asparagus for dinner last night. I think I got the best reviews from Mark I’ve had in awhile. Don’t misinterpret, he almost always enjoys what I make – but this meal was right up his ally, and he really really enjoyed it. I just might need to make roast more often.

    Looks good doesn’t it?

    I cooked the roast in a half can of Pepsi (because it was sitting on the counter, that’s why), some butter, and Jamaican Jerk Seasoning.  The potatoes I added a little ranch, bacon bits, milk and butter to. Finally the Asparagus I pan fried in Hickory Smoked Grapeseed Oil with some Ranchers Steak Rub seasoning.  We can’t forget the Hollandaise sauce either. It’s the perfect pairing for asparagus, but worked as a great “gravy” for the potatoes as well.

    I must have really felt successful last night, because I’ve put together a bit of an ambitious menu plan this week!

    Monday – Smoke Salmon and 2 Potato Hash
    Tuesday – Beef Mushroom Spaghetti
    Wednesday – eating out
    Thursday – Navajo Tacos
    Friday – Enchiladas
    Saturday – Cornmeal Chicken
    Sunday – Chili

    See ambitious!  I didn’t even schedule in a leftovers night, and I know there is going to be leftovers! We’ll just have to eat them for lunch I guess.
