• 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 3/4 lb sweet onion (diced, approximately 2, medium onions)

• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin seed

Recipe

• 1 heat oven to 350 degrees.

• 3 in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. when hot and shimmering add the lamb loin to the oil and sear on all sides.
• 4 when dark brown on all sides, place the lamb loin in aluminum foil.
• 5 in the remains of the hot oil, add the onions, sage, and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
• 6 while the onions are sauteing, smear the horseradish sauce and mustard on the surface.
• 7 add the diced tomatoes to the onions and cook until the tomatoes and onions both soften to roughly the same amount. pour the onion/tomato mixture over the top of the lamb in its foil wrapping and crimp it up along the sides. place in the oven for 45 minutes.
• 8 meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, place the quartered cabbage. season with salt and pepper to taste as well as add the paprika and cumin seeds, sprinkled over the top. place a lid on the pod and steam/boil the cabbage until soft over medium-low heat (about 45 minutes).
• 9 remove the loin from the oven and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before carving.
• 10 just before carving the lamb loin, melt the butter (in 3-4 batches) in the skillet and saute both sides of the slices of bread, effectively creating pre-buttered toast.
• 11 serve the sliced lamb loin with healthy spoonfuls of the onions and tomato along with the cabbage and toast.
