Pinnekjøtt Recipe

Pinnekjøtt is a traditional Norwegian dish made from salted and dried lamb ribs, typically served during Christmas. The name "Pinnekjøtt" literally translates to "stick meat," referring to the traditional method of steaming the meat using birch sticks (or modern alternatives) to raise the meat above the water during the steaming process. The meat is typically tender, flavorful, and rich, often paired with sides like mashed rutabaga, potatoes, and sometimes a rich brown sauce.
