Irish Banger Skillet
Description
The Irish Banger Skillet blends browned Irish sausages with thin layers of potatoes, cabbage, onions, and carrots, all cooked in a skillet with broth and thyme. The sausages first brown in olive oil to develop a crisp, flavorful exterior before being set aside. Vegetables are layered and gently simmered under lid in broth, seasoning, and herbs, softening to tender consistency without losing shape.
The sausages return to nestle in the vegetable mixture halfway through cooking, absorbing the moist cooking environment and juices, which enrich the potatoes and cabbage with sausage flavor. The dish offers a balance of savory meat and sweet, tender vegetables in a convenient skillet.
This skillet meal can be served on its own as a filling dinner or alongside fresh bread or a simple salad. It is straightforward to prepare and can be doubled using a larger pan, making it practical for families or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Irish banger sausage
- ½ pound red skinned potatoes sliced thinly crosswise
- 1 medium onion sliced thinly crosswise
- ½ head green cabbage cored and thinly sliced
- 3 carrot peeled and sliced on a diagonal into 1/2" pieces
- 1½ cups chicken broth or vegetable broth, divided
- 2 teaspoons thyme divided, fresh
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a 10-inch skillet with a tight fitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. When the oil starts to glisten and moire, carefully add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally until browned. Transfer the sausages to a plate.
- Into the pan, over a medium heat, layer in half of the onion, potatoes and cabbage.
- Layer the remaining onions, potatoes and cabbage. Sprinkle with carrots and add 1 teaspoon of the thyme.
- Pour ¾ cup of broth over the vegetables, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover tightly. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- After the vegetables have cooked for 10 minutes, nestle the sausages into the potato mixture, along with any accumulated juices.
- Add the remaining broth and thyme, cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are very tender.
- Remove the sausages and cut them into chunks. Return the sausages to the pan and serve.
Notes
- This recipe can be doubled using a 12-inch skillet to accommodate the larger quantity.
