Faarikaal day (Fårikåldagen)
Mmmm -- the simplest dish there is, and so delicious. Today was declared the
official day!
Cut a cabbage head in wedges, cut up mutton or lamb meat (a couple of bites
per piece), put in a large pot with a handful of black peppercorns, 2 tsp
salt. Alternate cabbage and meat, and optionally sprinkle some flour between
the layers. Add water, about halfway up the cabbage/meat layers, cook slowly
for at least an hour and a half. The cabbage should begin to change color
towards brown.
Enjoy! And make a big portion, when heated the next day it's even better.
You might recognize it as Irish Stew without the extra vegetables.
Bjørn - topping up with a cup of coffee and a SMALL piece of dark chocolate.
