Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon roughly chopped, smoky flavor
  • 8 large pork sausages fresh, your choice of variety
  • ½ yellow onion diced, for sweetness
  • 3 leeks trimmed, sliced, washed thoroughly
  • 4 carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
  • ½ cup pearl barley uncooked, adds texture
  • 1 cup chicken stock for braising
  • 1 cup beer Irish lager or ale, for flavor
  • 3 bay leaves for aroma
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted, for brushing potato topping
  • Parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Place peeled potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer bacon to a plate, leaving rendered fat in the pot.
  3. Brown the sausages in the same pot on all sides, then remove to the plate with the bacon.
  4. Layer onions, carrots, and leeks evenly in the pot. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  5. Arrange the cooked sausages and bacon on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle barley and bay leaves evenly over the top.
  6. Pour chicken stock and beer over all the ingredients. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Overlap the sliced potatoes on top of the mixture in a single layer.
  8. Bring the pot to a gentle boil on the stovetop, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  9. Preheat oven to 425°F. Uncover the pot and brush potatoes with melted butter. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and tender. Optional: place under broiler briefly for extra color, watching carefully.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately, ideally with fresh biscuits and a cold beer.
