If you've never heard of Dublin Coddle, then don't worry - you are in good company 🙂 Until recently, I hadn't heard of it either. But with St. Patrick's day around the corner, I couldn't stand the thought of another corned beef and cabbage meal. I went searching for some other Irish foods that could be made low carb and when I saw Dublin Coddle, I knew that I had found it!

A traditional Dublin Coddle is a bacon, potato, onion, and sausage stew that is cooked in the oven, low and slow. Obviously, potatoes are a no-go on low carb diets, but if you've seen my chicken pot pie recipe, then you already know what my FAVORITE low carb potato substitute is ... the turnip!

Ingredient substitutions:

• Turnips and Radishes - Since this recipe is super potato heavy, I opted to do a 50/50 mix of radishes and turnips to keep the carbs even lower, but you could certainly sub either one for the other.
  
  • I think that turnips have the most "potato like" taste and texture.  They can be eaten with the skin on or off, but I find that when I peel them my kids have no idea that they aren't eating potatoes.
• Sausage - Pretty much any low carb sausage will work for this recipe. Traditionally a pork sausage is best, but I used a beef kielbasa and it was great! Polish sausage or smoked sausage would also work well.
• Chicken Broth - You can use any kind of broth, beer or a combination of the two. A dark beer adds a really great flavor, but typically has higher carbs so just choose whatever works best for you.

Helpful Tools:

• Oven safe skillet or dutch oven - This is really the only must-have tool which is part of why this recipe is so great! I recommend a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. I used a 10" skillet, but looking back a 12" would have been much easier as I found my skillet to be a little full once I added everything.
  • You can get cast iron skillets pretty much anywhere that sells pots and pans. Just look for one that is pre-seasoned. I've linked to my favorite below.
• Other tools that are helpful include a vegetable peeler for the turnips and a good chefs knife for slicing the vegetables.

Not counting your carbs? No problem!

If you aren't watching your carbs and want to make a more traditional Dublin Coddle, just replace the turnips and/or radishes with peeled and cubed potatoes.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ½ lb bacon chopped
• 1 lb sausage (smoked sausage, polish sausage etc)
• 1 cup chicken broth or low carb beer
• 1 lb turnips peeled and cut into ½" cubes
• 1 lb radishes stems removed and cut into ½" cubes
• ½ medium yellow onion sliced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoon Parsley
• ½ teaspoon ground thyme

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cook the bacon over medium high heat in a large oven safe skillet or dutch oven, preferable cast iron. Once bacon is cooked, move from pan and set aside to drain. 
• Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add the sausages. Cook for a few minutes on each side to sear the skin. Remove the sausages from the pan and slice them into ½-1" rounds. Drain approximately ½ of the grease from the pan (just eyeball it, you don't have to be exact)
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the broth (or beer), onion, turnips, and radish. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, then add seasonings, sausages and ½ of the bacon. 
• Cover the dish with an oven safe lid or aluminum oil, and place in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Top with remaining bacon and serve.
