Fall has arrived and it's time to make a big pot of Fårikål (lamb and cabbage - mutton stew). The National dish of Norway. See how to make it in this video.
Recipe:
For this fairly large portion I used:
Two medium-sized heads of cabbage
2 kilos (4,4 pounds) of lambs meat
Black whole peppercorns
Salt
Water - About 1,3 liters (1,3 quarts) (you might add less, depending on the size of the pot etc)
Potatoes
This serves four grown ups, or if you are two it will last you for a couple of days. The stew actually tastes better on the second day.

First time I had this, it was cooked over a firepit, with lots of friends gathered around on stargazers. One of the tasitiest stews I've ever had. Its becoming a regular favourite

This was exciting Pal, my mother made this a lot when we were kids, thats 70 years ago!!! She's gone now, obviously, and I have craved this dish but was not sure how she made it. So thank you, I will now try it, I didn't even know it was made with lamb!! We live in Canada, we emigrated from Oslo 65 years ago and this might go over as a really good dish

@@norwaywithpal I am from a line of King Shaka Zulu, and in my language we call it “inhloko”. Our country is so diverse, and we have so many cuisines ranging from Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans and other. The “braai” is our favourite in the country. It’s not specific to any one cultural group. It transcends the country’s turbulent past to bringing the nation together.

Great!! This farikal recipe is healthy and tasty at the same time! We have a popular native dish called mutton kosha, cooked with either mutton or lamb,in our cultural community. It is tasty but is very rich,spicy and oily. Now I can simply cook farikal, and enjoy the lamb without worrying about my health and digestion. Thanks 😊.

Not judging The Dish but it amazes me how you could cook it just with... Water! I really didn't know it was possible, as I thought it would burn (because of no oil). But after watching some videos of people cooking Farikal it all makes sense now!

@norwaywithpal 3 жыл бұрын

Yea I know it can be surprising to many that there is no oil. But also remember it is a very traditional dish and oil (olive oil, canola oil) was not part of the Norwegian cuisine back in the days.. closest would be butter or some other kind of fat. You should try it out :)

I read elsewhere that you should sprinke some flour on the cabage layers about a tbs or two. Is adding flour a regional preference?

@norwaywithpal 8 ай бұрын

Not a regional preference, just a personal preference. My mother never did this, and I especially can't do it now since my wife is gluten-allergic. To be honest it does not change the flavor, it has more to do with the texture. Flour will make it a bit thicker. Try with both and see what you like :)

Min reviderte oversettelse: Translation of the text with the recipe: Autumn has arrived and it's time to make lamb and cabbage stew, Norway's national dish. This dish is simple but tastes very good. It may be hard to believe, but during the cooking process it will be better than the few ingredients combined would suggest. It is a kind of magical alchemy that happens while it simmers on the stove for hours. For this fairly large portion I used: Two medium-sized cabbages 2 kilos of lamb Black whole pepper Salt About 1.3 liters of water (you may need less depending on how you use the boiler) Potatoes. This is enough for four adults, or if it is for two then you will have 'fårikål' for a couple of days. It actually tastes better on day two. Bon appétit!
