Not sure how moneysaving it is but you could have a go if you have most of the ingredients indoors!! Good luck

Lamb meat balls ? mix with a little soured cream and a packet of french onion soup mix ?

or shape round some skewers for some kofte kebabs ?

Mousakka if you're in the mood to cook.

I had lamb burgers last night - fried some minced onion, garlic and dried rosemary, mixed with the lamb, served with brown rice and green beans. Smashing.

No harm in making spag bol with lamb mince. All the other ingredients & herbs will go well with lamb.

Lamb curry:

Brown minced lamb with garlic, onion. Add curry spices (dried or from a jar) and some water. Cook slowly for about 1 hour. Add plain yoghurt and peas (I use frozen). Serve with rice, naan and salad.

How about a bolognaise sauce made with lamb? Put into a dish, cook some pasta shapes and add to the top.
Top the whole lot off with a cheesy sauce and bake in the oven. I tried this once when I had to have a 'use the things in the fridge' meal and it went down very well.

How about some cannelloni? Delia has a nice recipe and I have used lamb mince for them before.

Hiya,

I need some inspiration. I have defrosted a 250g bag of lamb mince but haven't cooked with it before. Any suggestions for what to cook for tea - I am hoping for something a bit more exciting than shepherds pie (we had cottage pie last week!)

Thanks!!

I make a lovely James Martin moussaka recipe. You would need an aubergine but you could substitute with a few sliced courgettes, I suppose.

I also use a lamb stock cube, instead of a chicken stock cube. This recipe is really tasty.

Edited to say, you would have to juggle the recipe a bit, if you only have 250g and not 450g. I sometimes chop up some of the aubergine or courgette and mix it in with the mince, which then makes it go further, as the mince is quite rich, being lamb
