Discover Norwegian cuisine — fårikål, lutefisk, raspeball, brunost, and the fish-and-fjord Nordic table.
3 recipes
Norwegian cuisine reflects a coastal-and-mountain larder: salmon and cod (fresh, cured as gravlaks, dried as tørrfisk/klippfisk, or alkalized as lutefisk), lamb and cabbage (fårikål, the national dish), potato dumplings (raspeball/komle), and brunost (caramelized brown whey cheese). Preservation traditions and game define the canon, distinct within the Nordic group.
