Norwegian Fårikål - Hearty Lamb and Cabbage Stew with Potatoes
This traditional Norwegian Fårikål is a real comfort food and the epitome of Scandinavian home cooking. As your little cooking cat Mila, I especially love this dish because it uses only a few, high-quality ingredients and practically cooks itself. The secret lies in patience: as the tender lamb slowly simmers with the crisp white cabbage and aromatic whole peppercorns, an incomparably hearty sauce develops. It is a wonderfully simple and healthy dish, revered in Norway as a national dish. The combination of butter-soft meat, slightly sweet cabbage, and the accompanying boiled potatoes makes this meal a true experience. You don't have to be a professional to conjure up this rustic masterpiece – it's perfect for anyone who loves uncomplicated, honest cooking where the natural flavors of fresh ingredients really shine. Grab a large pot and enjoy – your kitchen will smell heavenly, almost as if you were sitting right in a cozy cabin in the Norwegian fjords!
Ingredients
Preparation
Cut the white cabbage (500 g) into rough pieces, removing the core.
Wash the lamb meat with bones (400 g) and pat dry.
In a large pot, arrange alternating layers of lamb meat with bones (400 g) and white cabbage (500 g).
Sprinkle each layer lightly with flour (1 tbsp), whole black peppercorns (1 tsp), and salt (1 tsp).
Carefully pour the water (250 ml) into the pot.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the stew simmer gently over low heat for about 90 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the waxy potatoes (3) and boil them in a separate pot of salted water until cooked.
Serve the finished Fårikål hot together with the boiled potatoes and enjoy.
