FåRIKåL - NORWEGIAN LAMB AND CABBAGE STEW

Fårikål - Norwegian Lamb and Cabbage Stew image

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

1 kg lamb, cheap cuts with bone and fat
1 large cabbage

Find the fattiest bits of meat and place one layer of that on the bottom of the pot.

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.
