festive dish, meat can be varied

Take the lamb loin out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, regardless of whether it’s marinated or plain. However, plain should be seasoned with pepper and salt on both sides before frying. Wash, core, and eighth the apple. Wrap each piece with a slice of ham and set aside. Bring pasta water to a boil in a medium saucepan and preheat the oven to 90°C (top/bottom heat). Peel the sweet potato and cut into approximately 0.5 cm cubes. Peel half the onion and finely dice. Heat the oil in a small saucepan and sauté the diced onion. Then add the curry paste and cook briefly. This allows the flavors to develop better. Add the sweet potato cubes, deglaze with the coconut milk and water, and simmer gently uncovered for a good 10 minutes. At the same time, add the pasta to the water and cook according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, sear the lamb loin in a hot pan for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the oven, wrap in aluminum foil, and finish cooking in the preheated oven for approximately 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness. Clean the pan with a paper towel and fry the prepared apple and bacon wraps on all sides over medium heat. The bacon will shrink and wrap around the apple slices. No additional fat is needed; the rendered bacon fat will suffice. Remove the lamb loin from the oven and remove from the aluminum foil. Using a hand blender, puree the sweet potato curry sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the lamb loin in half or carve it into strips and serve on plates with the noodles, apple and bacon wraps, and sauce.
