Arghhh it’s Lamb, please help.

[Bogoffrain]

I’ve only gone and bought minced lamb instead of beef, what can I do with it? Ideas needed please.

Moussaka ?

Shepherd's pie instead of cottage pie?

What they said ^^

Shepherds pie. Much nicer than cottage

This is a fav in our house.

I don’t like potatoes !! So that’s a problem

Just remember you need to eat lamb hot, or the grease will out.

Lamb and mint burgers!

Lasagne or spaghetti Bolognese works just as well with lamb mince

This is lovely

Thank you for these

Keema is always nice with nan bread or rice:

Or, continuing the Indian theme, you could shape it into kebabs and serve with salad, bread and raita.

Tacos, or burgers as already mentioned

Cauliflower mash makes a great substitute for mashed potatoes on a cottage pie (I'm on a low carb diet).

• Lamb pie with pastry on top
• Curried lamb served with rice or cous cous
• kofte
• lamb burgers

There are 100's of recipes on BBC food or online.

This. It's a lamb chilli style thing with chickpeas instead of kidney beans. It's utterly gorgeous. I add more harissa....

What were you originally planning, OP?

I second that Gousto one, hands down my favourite Gousto recipe!

I feel the need to buy lamb mince now!

Keema!

Lamb is my absolute favourite meat.

All of the chickpea / harissa options above, curry, tagine, stew.

Similar burgers or kofta. Nom nom.

I don't hate potatoes so could also go hotpot or shepherds pie (my favourite comfort food). I hate cottage pie as it's so nearly shepherds pie that I can't cope with the disappointment of it being beef instead of lamb.

Controversially though I disagree with lamb in lasagne as it just tastes right with beef so if you're not used to lamb mince anyway I'd steer clear of this or bolognaise. And this from a lamb fan.

I'd go koftes or burgers.

Koftas, rice and broccoli (lightly simmered then pan fried with garlic and soy sauce) salad.

What were you planning to make with beef mince?

You can make Shepherd's pie, lamb burgers (add mint and a bit of cumin, plus a yoghurt/cucumber dressing instead of mayonnaise), plus all the things like moussaka as normal.

You might need to drain off a little more fat than before - if you normally get extra lean beef - as lamb mince tends to be sold with a higher fat percentage, one equal with cheaper beef mince. But that's about it.

I'm making doner then making it into calzones.
