Fårikål

15 min prep 180 min cook 8 servings

Fårikål is Norway’s national dish - voted on by radio listeners over 40 years ago. Fårikål is both comfort and party food, and may taste even better the day after. And one thing is for sure: fårikål is the world’s best reason to gather big and small for the fall dinner party!

Fårikål

Ingredients

  • 1½kg lamb shoulder or other bony meat

  • 1½kg cabbage

  • 4tsp whole pepper

  • 2tsp salt

  • 400ml water

Directions

  1. Divide the cabbage into wedges.

  2. Lay meat and cabbage in layers in a saucepan (meat bottom with fatty side down). Sprinkle salt and pepper between layers. The peppercorns may optionally be placed in a special pepper canister. (Some also like to even out the fårikål. Then sprinkle some flour, about 1-2 tablespoons per 4 servings, between layers.)

  3. Add water. Bring to a boil, cover and lower the heat. Allow the lamb to simmer until the meat is tender (until it falls off the bone), approx. 2.5 hours.
