Image for recipe: Norwegian Lamb and Cabbage Stew - Fårikål
Ready in: 2h 20 mins
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients: 5

Fårikål is Norway's national dish and its most stubborn refusal to complicate things: lamb and cabbage layered in a pot with whole black peppercorns and a dusting of flour, covered with water, and left to simmer until the lamb is falling apart and the cabbage is silk. Five ingredients, two servings, one pot — and a broth that explains why Norwegians celebrate it with its own annual feast day.

Ingredients

For Fårikål

1
kilogram lamb, cheap cuts with bone and fat
1
large cabbage
1
tablespoon whole peppercorn
2
teaspoons salt
2
tablespoons plain flour

Instructions

For Preparation of Fårikål

1. Slice the cabbage into "boats", creating radiating slices from the middle out.
2. Identify the fattiest parts of the lamb meat and create a layer at the bottom of the pot.
3. Add a layer of cabbage on top of the lamb.
4. Generously sprinkle whole peppercorns, salt, and flour over the cabbage.
5. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the pot, making sure the cabbage forms the top layer.
