Farekal is a dish that is always met with great enthusiasm in the Strom household. The name farekal is quite simply a combination of the Norwegian words "far" meaning lamb and "kal" meaning cabbage, lamb cabbage. It is worth noting that the "a"s in farekal are actually "a"s with small circles over them meaning that the "a" is pronounced with a long sound similar to saying "ohhh", only you vertically extend the lips more to alter the sound.This is a relatively simple dish comprised of simmering cabbage, lamb meat, flour and whole pepper together to create a magnificently aromatic concoction. Served with new potatoes this dish is unparalleled especially in the fall with fresh meat and cabbage. A rich and satisfying meal is always the result with farekal.

Where are the potatoes and "saus"? Yes, I agree, this is a good dish indeed!
I agree, a fantastic dish. I was taught to make this by an aged Norwegian relative who lived way up on the island of Kvaloya (Troms). It's now an expected Autumn dish in my house in the UK; and there are complaints if it isn't made at least once in the season.
