Fårikål is a classic Norwegian lamb and cabbage stew, built from layers of lamb pieces and cabbage wedges seasoned with whole black peppercorns and salt. It's a simple dish that relies on a long, slow simmer to tenderize the lamb until it's falling from the bone. The broth, rich with the flavors of lamb and cabbage, is a key part of the experience. You can thicken the stew a bit with a spoonful of flour, if you like, before serving it with boiled potatoes and fresh parsley.
