Smalahove Recipe

Smalahove is a traditional Norwegian dish made from a sheep's head, typically served as a hearty and rustic meal. It is an ancient dish, dating back to a time when no part of the animal was wasted. The sheep's head is usually smoked or salted, then boiled or steamed until tender. Smalahove is often served during special occasions, particularly around Christmas, and is considered a true delicacy in Western Norway. This dish is typically accompanied by side dishes like potatoes, rutabaga (swede), or flatbread.
