This hearty dish comes from Havesathe de Havixhorst in the Drenthe
Province in De Wijk, the Netherlands.  For Cabbage: Mix first 8
ingredients in heavy large Dutch oven. Bring  to boil. Reduce heat and
simmer until tender, stirring occasionally,  abut 35 minutes. Add
vinegar. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill.)  For Lamb: Heat 1 tablespoon
oil in heavy large Dutch oven over high  heat. Add bones and brown
well, about 8 minutes. Add all broth; bring  to boil. Reduce heat;
simmer until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup,  about 6 minutes. Strain
into small saucepan. Set sauce aside.  Preheat oven to 400Â°F. Heat 1
tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet  over high heat. Sprinkle lamb
with salt and pepper. Add to skillet;  brown on all sides, about 8
minutes. Transfer lamb to baking sheet.  Roast lamb to desired
doneness, about 8 minutes for medium-rare.  Place Lamb on work surface.
Let stand 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, rewarm cabbage, stirring often. Bring
sauce to simmer.  Remove sauce from heat; add butter and whisk just
until melted. Mix  in basil.  Arrange cabbage on plates. Cut lamb
between bones and arrange atop  cabbage. Spoon sauce over lamb and
serve.  Bon AppÃ©tit April 1996  Posted to recipelu-digest by Sandy
