What to do with leftover lamb?

Toxic_Lemon

I made Country Captain pie the other day, after watching Saturday Kitchen. It's like Shepherd's Pie but uses spiced lamb instead. It was very nice even though I mistakenly left out the tomatoes.

I made a lancashire hotpot with my left over lamb yesterday. Onions, carrots, bacon, lamb and topped with sliced potatoes. It was delicious!

Penny-Pincher!!

I usually add to gravy then freeze for another meal if theres enough for 2 servings. Or you could add to a soup base if not lots left or lamb goes very well with couscous.

Stovies are lush, boil up lots of potatoes cut into chunks and onions cut into large chunks with enough lamb stock to cover until the potatoes absorb most of the stock then stir in shredded lamb. Divine with brown sauce & seriously filling

For tonights tea I've made the shepherds pie and there's enough left for a curry.

There's some lovely ideas here for leftover lamb - I shall definitely be trying the samosas idea. Normally we don't get roast lamb left over - it gets put into sandwiches the next day. The one time we did get lots of left over roast lamb I sliced it when cold and made a gravy with a bit of mint sauce in. In went the slices of lamb to be heated up in the gravy, and then we had them served in hot warm baguettes (just the part-baked variety).

DH loved them!

I made that too and it was gorgeous. A bit time consuming but well worth it.

Here we go
serves 2 but easily doubled

4oz cooked lamb
2oz cooked veg (not cauli or brocolli)
1 potato, peeled, cooked and chopped (use leftover mash if you have some)
Garlic (to taste)
salt
pepper
4oz SR flour
1/2oz butter
cold water to mix

Mix together the lamb, veg and potato and season with salt and pepper (I stick it all in the blender and pulse until chunky).
Sift the flour with a pinch of salt and rub in the butter and add enough cold water to form a soft dough.
Roll out to about 3mm thick and cut out circles (I use a cup to get the shape)
Put 2tsp of the lamb mix into the middle of each pastry disk.
Fold over the dough to make a half moon shape and pinch the edges to seal
Fry in hot oil until golden brown
Drain on kitchen towel and serve

Curry Sauce
1oz butter
1 onion peeled and chopped
2-3tsp curry powder
1tbsp plain flour
7floz stock (or leftover gravy)
Melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the onion until soft
Stir in the curry powder and flour and cook for 1 minute then gradually stir in the stock/gravy
Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins
Season to taste
Serve
