Meat is not my favorite, so here in Norway I stick to fish in all variations.

But I read that Fårikål (Lamb in Cabbage Stew) is supposed to be a national dish, and there is a Fårikål Day on the last Thursday in September.

If you want to try, here are some of the recipes I found in English:

The Norwegian website http://www.reisenett.no/norway/facts/food/en/meat.html

gives this recipe

Lamb in cabbage (Fårikål)
(Serves 4)

1.5 kg lamb from neck, shank or breast, together with the bones, cut into serving-size pieces

1.5 kg garden cabbage

2 tsp salt

approx. 4 tsp peppercorns

1-2 tbsp flour

approx. 3 dl boiling water

Cut the cabbage into segments.
Place the lamb and cabbage in layers in the saucepan, starting with the lamb. Sprinkle flour, salt and peppercorns between the layers.
Pour over boiling water. Bring to the boil and let the lamb and cabbage simmer over low heat until the meat is tender, which will take about 1-2 hours.

One recipe I saw had the same amount of potatoes as meat simmering in the stew. That certainly would give you a whole meal in one casserol.
