Fårikål - Norwegian Lamb & Cabbage

"Fårikål is Norway's National Dish. In Norwegian, it means...well... Lamb and Cabbage! This is a hearty and simple dish that's a staple of Norwegian cooking. How can you go wrong with these two ingredients? Norwegians expect this dish to get ugly – in fact, it's said that if it looks too pretty, you probably haven’t done it right! Traditionally, the dish is actually made with mutton, which is just an adult sheep. It's much gamier and stronger. But hard to find in the U.S. As with all National Dishes, everyone has their way to make it. Some people add carrots to the mix. But I'm only going to show you how I was taught. Yes, this Hispanic gal was made an "Honorary Norwegian" after 18 years of attending my awesome Lutheran Church and its many church suppers where I learned the wonders of lutefisk, lefse, and the ubiquitous jello salad."
