Dublin Coddle is true Irish comfort food: no fancy sauces, and none of the spices found in hotter regions. Yet every Dublin pub and every Dublin mum has a version of it. It sounds simple – just bacon, sausage, potatoes, onions, carrots, and water (or hard cider) – but the flavors meld together into a delicious stew.

Rack of Lamb with Mint Sauce
Notes:
A tender herb, mint loses most of its vibrant flavor when dried; whenever possible, use it fresh. The herb labeled "mint" in the supermarket will be either peppermint or spearmint. Of the two, peppermint has the sharper flavor.
