Diced Lamb

Hi everyone.

I bought 1/2 lb diced lamb from the butchers, which I have pulled out of the freezer tonight, hoping to hve it for tea tomorrow. I have a well stocked store cupboard, and am looking for something to do with it. Anyone got any ideas?

    If it was me I'd be marinating the lamb in yoghurt,mint sauce and a tsp crushed chillies.Then the day after I'd skewer it with chunks of red pepper,onion and tomato and cook under the grill.Serve on a bed of fried rice

  • I had lamb at the weekend and a hungry family to feed. So I made a curry with some lamb (had enough for a roast dinner as well). I chucked in lots of veg, and bits and pieces from the fridge and freezer. I.E peppers, tomatoes, cooked frozen spinach. Enjoy your lamb.:D

    MMM lamb stew with barley. carrots celery onions etc fry it all up with the lamb, add tomato puree and pearl barley, stock etc. So tasty! Or do similar without tom puree and stick spuds in there as well (either peeled and whole, or sliced and stick on top like lancashire hotpot)

    How about marinating it with lemon juice, finely grated lemon rind, thinly sliced garlic, olives, olive oil, chilli and salt and pepper and then popping on skewers with some peppers/Onions/courgette and serving with a rice/couscous?
  • I made a really easy curry last night which turned out like a dopiaza!

    I used chicken legs but lamb would be lovely. Basically I fried the meat to seal it, fried a couple of chopped onions, chucked in about 4 cloved chopped garlic, a few home grown chillies (chilli powder would be fine) and about 1-2 tablespoons curry powder, fried it all up, chucked it in the slow cooker with about eight home grown skinned toms (a tin of toms would be fine) and a veg stock cube.

    I then added a coupe of handfulls of red lentils and a bit of frozen spinach and left it too cook for a few hours. I added a bit of cornflour right at the end to thicken the sauce a bit more, and it was the best curry I have ever made! Made about 4 huge portions from not a lot of meat, lovely with a bit of rice and a naan :-)
