What to do with leftover lamb?

Well, thanks to Mr Tesco, i got an Organic half leg of lamb this morning on R&R.:j its a decent size, bout 1 and half kg, priced at £12.41, so i was practically skipping out of the shop!!
Anyway, i've never been lucky enough to be able to afford to buy joints like this, so i was wondering what might be the best way to cook it, and use the leftovers? i thought about roasting it with garlic, rosemary and mint, but then what to do with all the leftovers?
There'll probably be loads left cos there's only myself and the 2 kids so i wanted to make the best use out of it .....hopefully we'll be eating lamb all week if i can make it stretch!!!

When we have a leg of lamb there is never any left and there is only 2 of us. This is because I have a partner that does a brilliant impression of a waste disposal unit. Tonight we're having cottage pie....that would usually service 4 people. I'll have my usual 1 portion...and he'll have the rest.

If ever i did get some left over I'd put it to one side for sandwiches.

Okay, I've been a subscriber to rubber chicken since long before I knew there was a name for it :T

Does anyone have any ideas to stretch roast dinner lamb left overs?

I tried stir fry this week, and it just didn't quite cut the mustard, and usually I find reheating lamb means it goes tough.

The only successful rubber meal I've made was a shepherds pie from the lamb, left over vegs and gravy. Made new mash but saved the spare potatoes for bubble and squeek for another night.

Does anyone else successfully 'rubberise' lamb? :rotfl:

Lamb Hotpot - Its the one I make the next day after a roast lamb dinner. Lamb, veg and hotpot sauce and then sliced potatoes on top. All cooked in the slow cooker. The lamb still cooks as tender and goes down well in our house

Biryani is a good one. also a stew if you have enough leftovers, or if you are having a leg/shanks then cook lentils or chick peas with the meat which is left stuck to the bone. All day in the slow cooker and the meat will fall off. My boys fight over who gets to suck the marrow out of the bone;)

Thanks outrageous_monkey.

What's 'hot pot sauce'? How do you make that?
