FåRIKåL - NORWEGIAN LAMB AND CABBAGE STEW
A simple-to-make stew that freezes well and tastes even better reheated. Probably because of the pepper-corns giving off more taste then. I have made a video of the preparation of this dish, and that can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw6B76PqdRU

Tips:
- For the most flavorful lamb stew, choose lamb shoulder or neck. These cuts have a higher fat content, which will render down during cooking and add flavor to the stew.
- Sear the lamb before braising it. This will create a nice brown crust on the outside of the meat, which will lock in the juices and add flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and cabbage.
- Add some fresh herbs to your stew for extra flavor. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, and sage.
- Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or crusty bread.
Conclusion:
Frikl is a hearty and flavorful lamb stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting meal, give frikl a try.
