What to do with leftover lamb?

skintchick

I don;t think i'd like gravy with them. Hmm, they didn't have any oil in so I thought a little would be OK. Maybe another egg? Or even just a touch of water?

Maybe I just cooked them too long.

But they are fried in oil and due to the high bread content they absorb quite alot of it. Can't help you I'm afraid.

We eat rissoles with indian pickles; I've never found them to be dry

I'll add this to the existing thread on leftover lamb, to keep ideas together.

Hi peeps

Anyone got a nice lamb recipe for my small slow cooker to feed 4 please?

I've got a lump of leftover lamb
onions, garlic, tinned and fresh(ish) small plum toms, paprika, cayenne, cumin, chilli and a few other dried herbs, celery, potatoes, rice.

I did try a search, but by the time I've waded through all the posts and found one the lamb may only be fit for the dogs.

Hi cakeordeath,

I would chop the lamb into chunks, fry the onions and garlic in a little oil and add with the tinned tomatoes to the slow cooker with a glug of red wine or a stock cube. Pop in any veg you might have too then season with pepper and herbs (rosemary is good if you have it). Cook for about five hours on medium and serve with either rice or mashed potatoes.

There's an earlier thread with more ideas for using up leftover lamb that may help:

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

Hi all
I'm going to do a leg of lamb on Sunday and know I'm going to have loads of lamb left over, any ideas what I could make with it? When would I need to use it by??
Would it be ok to put in the slow cooker in some sort of casserole if its already been cooked once?
Does anyone have any nice slow cooker receipes for already cooked once lamb??
Thankyou as ever everyone :T

I treat leftover roast lamb for any slow recipes that use lamb. Hot pot/tagine recipes/curry. Cooked a Jamie O recipe tonight, North African Lamb with Chilli, Ginger and chickpeas using leftover sunday roast. What I go for depends on the veg in the fridge. Just substitute the raw with leftover. I'm always a bit mean and use less meat and bulk out with veg. There are probably recipes on here already for my suggestions.

how about mincing or chopping it and making moussaka? or lasagne? or even freezing it until you want to make another roast dinner? it doesnt have to be used straight away.
I like to use leftover lamb in either shepherds pie (you can used the gravy too) or with red wine and rosemary in a casserole. curry is nice too , but not with a coconut based sauce - the spicy indian currys are best.
how1 - that north african lamb sounds gorgeous, think i can guess how you do that - apart from what do you use as liquid? - next time i have leftover lamb - thats on menu!!! thanks

Mince it up and make a lovely shepherd's pie! My favourite! If you can, make two and freeze one for another day - fat chance in our house mind you!!!:rotfl:

Stew!

Bung the whole lot that's left - you'll probably have to break the leg at the joint - in a big pan ( or Slow Cooker) with a few carrots in chunks, chunks of swede (or turnip if you're Scottish!) and an onion or two, couple of handfuls of soup mix (or a lentil / rice/ dried peas / pearl barley mix) 2 red oxo cubes & 2/3 fill with water. Simmer for about 3 hours (longer with a SC). Cool overnight.

Remove lamb joint & skim off what fat you can, then strip the meat off the joint & return to pan. Add potatoes to suit & heat through again until spuds are cooked. Just before serving make up a couple of dumplings each & add to the top to cook. Serve in big bowls!

TBH - I leave the spuds out & make extra dumplings! LOL!

There's always enough for us for 2 nights at least (Family of 3).

Mmmmmmmmm - feel roast lamb coming on for this Sunday!
