Fårikål(Traditional Norwegian dish)

While there are plenty of traditional Norwegian restaurants serving fårikål around Norway, there's no better way to enjoy it then by preparing it at home yourself. This way, you get that warm, cosy feeling that comes with tucking into hearty, home-cooked comfort food. What's more, making fårikål at home is actually a lot easier than you might think, although it does take some time and patience.
