Fårikål

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fårikål is a traditional Norwegian dish, consisting of pieces of lamb's meat with bone, cabbage, whole black pepper and a little wheat flour, cooked for several hours in a casserole, traditionally served with potatoes boiled in their jackets. The dish is typically prepared in early autumn, after the slaughtering of the year's young lambs. Some people prefer mutton for this dish. Fårikål is originally a dish from the Western part of Norway, but is now enjoyed in all parts of the country.
