Norwegian Food
1 – Fårikål – Mutton and Cabbage
Fårikål, directly translated to “mutton in cabbage”, is the Norwegian national dish. Hearty and juicy, this recipe is surprisingly simple.
Fårikål is similar to a stew. Mutton and cabbage are added to water and seasoned with salt and pepper. The stew is then cooked on the stove for several hours until the meat and cabbage are tender.
Even though it is such a simple dish, it is often served for family gatherings or as a weekend meal.
Fårikål is mostly eaten in the fall when the temperature in Norway drops. It’s a Norweigan favorite and a traditional dish that has been eaten in Norway for generations.
It’s a must for anyone visiting Norway in the fall and winter who wants to enjoy traditional Norwegian cuisine!

Lapskaus is a much-loved traditional Norwegian dish. It originates from Germany, but it has been enjoyed by Norwegians since the 1800s.
Norwegians eat lapskaus for dinner any day of the week all year round. It’s wholesome and filling, particularly during the colder months.
Traditional lapskaus is made with beef, potatoes, carrots, swede, and leeks. All are added to a pot, as you would with a stew.
The meat and vegetables are boiled until they are tender. Once the juices are running and the dish is piping hot, lapskaus is normally served with flatbread and butter. Read More…
