Lamb bones/stock

Pink.

Hi overlykeensaver,

Cover the bones in water, add an onion, bayleaf, some peppercorns and any spare veg you have at the bottom of the fridge. Simmer gently for a few hours then strain and allow the stock to go cold so that the fat will rise to the top. Skim off the fat and then you have your stock. I use lamb stock in meat based soups like broth, and casseroles, it goes well with tomato based dishes too.

There's an earlier thread with more ideas:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

I cooked a gorgeous roast lamb dinner on Sunday and used half the juices for my roast potatoes and saved the rest in a pot in the fridge.

How long does it keep for? It has the white film of fat on the top "sealing" the juices underneath and I would love to use it again but not sure how long I can keep it before it starts going off? Or any other suggestions on how to use it?

Thanks in advance.

Normally the leftover juices last for about a week in the fridge sealed in a jar.

I also use the juices for roasting over things in, flavouring up a stew, curry etc and making gravy with.

I would freeze it until you need it.

Just made some lamb in the slow cooker - used a lamb stock cube water and glug of red wine. Can I do anything with the liquid that is left?

Can you not make some gravy with it and serve it with your lamb? Or is it too late for that, and the lamb has been eaten? lol

The lamb was for sandwiches for lunches this week. It was very cheap in Mr T today. So I didn't need gravy. Is it heading for the bin then?

Good heavens, no! Freeze it and use it next time you need some gravy or a meaty soup.

dont waste it! freeze it and next time you cook lamb you have some beautiful stock to make gravy with. or you can use it as a base for lamb stew.

I'd agree with the others - keep it for later and make soup :T If it's nice and dark, I'd favour French Onion or Minestrone

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the exisitng thread to give you more ideas.
