Ingredients

Scale

Meats

  • 6 pork sausages (Irish-style preferred)
  • 4 bacon rashers, sliced into strips

Vegetables

  • 4 medium waxy potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 large onions, peeled and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Seasoning

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and slice the onions and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the bacon into strips and have the sausages ready for cooking.
  2. Brown the Sausages and Bacon: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, cook the sausages until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside. Then add the bacon strips to the same pot and cook until crisp and browned to build a rich flavor base.
  3. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Using the rendered fat from the meat, sauté the onions and garlic until softened and translucent, releasing their sweetness and aroma.
  4. Build the Stew: Add the potatoes to the pot, then return the sausages and bacon. Pour in enough chicken or vegetable stock to cover the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer Gently: Cover the pot and let the stew simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
  6. Final Touches: Before serving, stir in a spoonful of whole-grain mustard if desired and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a fresh herbal note and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use fresh, flavorful sausages and thick-cut bacon for best results.
  • Simmer the stew gently to develop deep flavors and perfect potato tenderness.
  • Browning the meats first adds essential caramelized flavor to the dish.
  • Homemade stock enhances the taste, but good quality store-bought stock works well.
  • Add parsley at the end to retain its bright color and fresh taste.
