Thread: Traditional Suppers

The season is finally here!
Norway's national dish is on the menu for us this weekend.
(the national Fårikål day was this Thursday)
Up here we call it Fårikal, but I guess Mutton and Cabbage stew works as a translation to English.

This dish is simple as a brick, and can be made by anyone.
Mutton, seared lightly for that wonderful Maillard effect, and Cabbage in equal amounts are layered in a big casserole, sprinkled generously with whole black peppers and a tiny sprinkling of wheat flour. Water is added until it almost covers the ingredients.

This then simmers for a few hours on the stove.
Served with boiled new-potatoes and the feast can begin
A few glasses of Aquavit is a natural drink for this divine dish!

Here is a pic of it just as it goes on the stove.
