Grønlangkål

(Grønlangkål, Halländsk långkål)

Långkål or Grønlangkål is a traditional dish originating from Halland, also closely associated to Danish cuisine. It's made with a combination of kale, stock, butter, cream, sugar, salt, and white pepper. The kale is boiled in stock until soft, chopped up, then fried in butter, lard, or pork fat.


The dish is seasoned with salt, white pepper, and a bit of sugar. It's diluted with some of the stock and a bit of cream, then cooked for a short while before it's served and enjoyed. Långkål can be eaten on its own or as an accompaniment to meat dishes.


It is well known as a traditional Christmas dish in the region.
