What are you doing with your leftover lamb today?

[WashYourDamnRice]

I've got enough for about 6 people left. I'm thinking gyros but I'm not fully convinced yet.

Making a teriyaki stir fry 😋

Lucky dog!

Dh finished it in a sandwich last night. We have some cheesey potatoes left over that ds is having for his lunch. I'm delighted I got the servings just right for a change. Nice light prawn stir fry for dinner tonight.

Roast lamb is my doggie favourite meal. I can stretch it over a few days mixed in with her chicken that she usually has.

If we have leftover lamb, we always make curry, and then the leftover curry is made into pies with puff pastry. We cook extra lamb to make sure there are enough leftovers! (We are sheep farmers though, so lamb is free and plentiful for us).

Last week (as I did a roasted shoulder on Saturday), I had it reheated in gravy with fresh roasties and garlicky French beans on Sunday.

DH also put 2 large chunks into the freezer for other dinners (I took mine back to Brussels with me, he couldn’t be arsed dealing with leftovers in the moment). We have had lots of leftovers frozen and reheated in gravy over the years (Christmas turkey on a miserable Sunday in march is yum!).

Slice, freeze and reheat in some good stock. Won't be as nice as first time round but nice enough!

Or mince and make a cottage pie filling with cheesy mash topping.

Utterly delicious.

I am not a lover of curry - why you would want to obscure the delicious taste of an expensive cut of lamb with heavy spicing is a mystery to me

Dh has made a lamb Rogan Josh for himself and Dd has a small lamb roast dinner to heat up tonight when she gets back to university

My mum's old dog would point blank refuse to eat her tea if there was lamb in the oven. She wanted to hold out for something better.

Biryanis or cold with chips and salad 😋

Lamb risotto

Mine is running around in a field somewhere still hopefully!

So, you just had a little bit of it then? 😆

Quite correct as dogs cannot have chocolate and shouldn't be left out .

Our cats know when DS has plain roast chicken and they are utter pests😁

I’ve got a lamb pasanda on the go in the slow cooker. I had to get up early to prepare it before the leftover lamb was snaffled by the masses.

Stir fried with lots of ginger, spring onion, chillis and garlic is my favOurite. Or something Moroccan-y with chickpeas. Or whack in a tomato sauce and have with pasta.

What! Shepherds pie made with roast lamb is food of the gods. There is no need to mince it though.

I have a very ancient hand operated mincer that has a selection of attachments including one that has large holes. It just makes a nice, consistent, chunky mince - very tender. I roast a tray of veg with garlic and olive oil, then chop it roughly and add to the meat. Cover it in left over gravy, then the mash and bake it just long enough to heat it through and brown the potato. With (another) glass of red wine it is the perfect comfort food. It is nothing like bog standard shepherd's pie.

🙄How is cooking a meal you enjoy, a waste?

Literally just frying it in a pan and eaten with the cold leftover lemony stuffing we ate with it. Had Easter lunch at best friends house and it’s her signature dish and INSANELY good. I won the “who gets to take leftovers home” competition

@porridgecake 👍

I just dish up a repeat roast for the next day.

I wish I had some after reading these ideas. My DC ate the lot!

We’re having Lamb Bhuna. We are lucky to have a Rafi’s Spice Box stall at one of our local supermarkets. They make the most amazing fresh spice mixes for leftover meats.

Oh good idea! We cooked it with Indian spices yesterday too along with basmati rice. That’ll be easy to convert to biryani. Thanks for the idea @Ilovemyshed. BTW, I too love my shed 😂
