Norwegian Lamb and Cabbage Stew - Fårikål

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.
