1 1/2 lbs. pork sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 1/2 lbs. smoked ham, cut into 1 inch dice
1 qt. boiling water
2 lg. yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
4 tbsp. chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Place the sausage and ham in the boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Drain but reserve the liquid. Put the meat into a large saucepan (or an oven-proof dish) with the onions, potatoes, and parsley. Add enough of the stock to not quite cover the contents. Cover the pot and simmer gently for about 1 hour or until the liquid is reduced by half and all the ingredients are cooked but not mushy. You may need to remove the lid during the last half of the cooking process. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with the vegetables on top and fresh Irish Soda Bread and a glass of stout.
