What to do with leftover lamb?

CH27

I'd make a Shepherd's Pie or a Lamb Tagine.

I have lamb that should do two meals so I shall probably shred whats left, stir fry it with some veg and serve with noodles and soya sauce...kids love it!

I have never had sheperds pie with 'proper' lamb, only minced!

I make lasagne from lamb mince, exactly as the moussaka recipe mentioned by a previous poster except I put in sheets of lasagne instead of potato, and instead of cheese sauce I use a tin of mushroom soup. Will def try it with potato now though.

Shepherds pie is my favourite.

Another favourite is mince n rice, I stir fry a load of veg - I usually use carrots, onions, mushrooms and peppers as thats what I usually have in the bottom of the fridge, but you can use anything. Add the lamb, add some stock, (I just use some made up gravy granules) and I bung in some soy sauce, a slug of tomato ketchup and a table spoon of mince sauce. Serve with rice.

Make pies!! I always use my pie maker to make lamp pies with leftovers and it's so quick and easy and tastes brill

Lamb meatballs are my favourite. Add some breadcrumbs or couscous, a beaten egg some mint & (if you have it) sun dried tomatoes. Poach in a veg stock with lots of lemon juice in (use a big frying pan, make the stock come about halfway up the meatballs) and serve with a lemon/mint/yoghurt dressing.

Sit in the sun & eat, pretending you are in Greece on your hols!

PM me if you want some more ideas

It's not something I would really cook but if i did, it would be mince meat. I'm not sure if that's regional thing!

Mince, like beef? If so then its cottage pie not shepherd's pie! This is one of those silly little things that makes me, childishly I admit, point out that shepherds, after all, don't have cows but sheep!:o:o (I also make what I call ''small holder's pie....what ever meat we have and mostly veg, lol)

I'm deprived, I've never had shepherds pie made from lamb! :eek:

Me either. Was always cottage pie as it was cheaper to use beef mince. Terribly deprived as a child

I like a pilau with spices (coriander seed, cinnamon stick, allspice is good...), onion, some fresh greens (beans, forzen peas, spinach) pinenuts or toasted seeds and fresh coriander stirred thru at the end - a little feta crumbled on the top is delicious too.

I made a spiced shepards pie last week too - some cinnamon, cumin a little chilli, borlotti beans and topped with mash with sweet pot added to the spuddies. It was a huge hit evne to my bean hating oh and ds! Dd picked hers out grrr
