Ingredients
  

For the Stew
  • 4 pieces Irish Sausages Look for brands like Glenilen Farm or Clonakilty for authentic flavor.
  • 6 slices Bacon Use thick-cut, non-smoked bacon for rich taste.
  • 4 medium Potatoes Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture.
  • 2 medium Onions Sauté slowly to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme Dried thyme can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • 4 cups Irish Stout or Mild Ale Optional for added richness.
  • 4 cups Stock or Water Use to achieve desired thickness.
To Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley For color and fresh flavor before serving.

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat over medium. Add thick-cut bacon strips and Irish sausages, cooking for about 5–7 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  2. In the same pot, add sliced onions and cook for 10–15 minutes on low heat until soft and translucent.
  3. Add chopped potatoes and fresh thyme, stirring gently to combine, and warm for another 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in enough stock or Irish stout to cover the ingredients, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30–40 minutes.
  5. Check the stew consistency; if too thin, simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or add water if too thick.
  6. Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.
