SPOILER!!: Fårikål recipe

Food! That sounded great to Olly. He knew that he was going to get hungry really soon, even if he was feeling fine right now. It meant that the potion - er, dinner - would be done right about when he most wanted it. Hopefully. He went to get a tripod stand from the professor and set it up above his fire. It was pretty cool. He had sort of been wondering how exactly they were going to be able to make a potion, but it all made sense now. The digging of the hole was not completely clear but he supposed it would be eventually. Everything always had a reason. His job was just to follow the rules, and he was usually fine with that. So he dug the hole.

Alright, now it was time to actually make the potion. Food. Why were they making food again? This was potions class, not cooking class. Oh well, Olly didn't care, he was getting food out of it. Food that he couldn't pronounce, but food nonetheless. He took the ingredient crate, and then took out all of his supplies. Scales and other measuring equipment were the most important at the moment because he needed to make sure he had the right amount of ingredients. And a chopping board, that was very important too because it was time to chop the cabbage.

He cleaned his knife with a quick "Scourgify," and started chopping. Quarters and then wedges. He got four wedges out of most of the quarters, but only three out of some of the others because the sizes of the quarters were not exactly uniform. He repeated the process for the second cabbage. And he had to cut the meat too. He put that on the cutting board and cleaned his knife again. He cut it into slices, doing his best to get each of them as close to 3cm as possible. At least if it wasn't exact, it wouldn't matter as much in cooking as it could in potion making.

Next was putting water in the cauldron. That seemed easy enough. Olly took out his wand and was about to cast the spell when he saw the professor using a water bottle. Sure enough there was one in his ingredient crate. He raised his hand. "Sir, why can't we just use aguamenti?" That's certainly what he wanted to do, but since the professor didn't, he wasn't going to either. He cleaned his measuring cup - "Scourgify." - and measured out 500 mL from the water bottle to pour into his cauldron.

Pour the water into the cauldron. Place a layer of meat/vegetarian protein, then a layer of cabbage into the pot, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. Repeat this layering process until you have used up all the ingredients. The final layer on the top should always be cabbage. Cover with cauldron lid. Cook for 1 hour until the meat is tender. Serve with damper and juices from the bottom. Food! That sounded great to Olly. He knew that he was going to get hungry really soon, even if he was feeling fine right now.
