About Fårikål

Fårikål is a Norwegian lamb-and-cabbage stew. MatPrat’s traditional recipe uses layers of meat and cabbage, seasoned simply with salt and whole peppercorns.

Lamb gives the broth its rich, savoury character, balanced by the cooked cabbage. Whole pepper adds warmth without a separate spice blend or sauce.

The meat is tender enough to come away from the bone, with soft cabbage wedges in the broth. It is served steaming hot with boiled potatoes; wheat flour is an optional thickener.
