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.
