Leftover leg of lamb ideas

[AngelaKilfeather]

I have about a third of the gigantic leg of lamb I bought for lunch left over and don’t know what to do with it. I don’t cook lamb very often, it seems a lot of faff trying to get it off the bone and I’m not so keen on it but had family over. I don’t have a pot big enough to boil it in so will attack it with a knife. What could I do with it?

Masaman curry, its delicious with lamb!

Curry, definitely. Or you could do stovies or a shepherds pie if its shreddable

Curry would be gorgeous. Ice jus t made a lot of curry for the freezer with leftover turkey.

i love lamb rogan josh so nice after a lamb roast dinner

Not the weather for it but shepherds pie with left over roast is 100x better than made with fresh mince. Hfw's recipe is dead easy: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/dec/09/favourite-recipes-crowd-fearnley-whittingstall

Lamb salad with feta.

Lamb salad with halloumi.
Cover it in cumin or sumac and have it with couscous and salad.
Lamb saag (lamb & spinach curry)
Tagine
Some kind of middle eastern inspired lamb & chickpea dish.

Definitely samosas. Just made a huge batch for the freezer. I'll serve with curry sauce and jacket potatoes

Or a fakeaway kebab.

Irish stew with crusty bread?

Shred it, mix with runny honey, soy sauce and Chinese five spice (enough to just coat it lightly) and dry fry until dark and sticky. Serve with rice.

This is what I’m doing tomorrow, with leftover lamb from today.

Always stories! Served with oatcakes and beetroot, and possibly brown sauce.

Definitely tagine with couscous and a yogurt and mint dressing to dollop on the top.

Mince it or make a shepherd's pie and then you freeze it, with or without potato on top.

Stovies

Crispy lamb pancakes (like crispy duck) with hoisin sauce, leeks and spring onion

In a crusty baguette with mint sauce and mayonnaise

Take the meat off the bone ASAP. Whatever you decide to do, do that now.
It shouldn't be a faff. The meat, if cooked correctly, should fall off the bone. Our bone always comes out easily and completely clean!!

I usually shred the meat and have it with pitta bread, humous, roasted peppers and salad. I actually prefer this to a roast dinner.

It generally ends up in a shepherd's pie here .....

Moussaka!

These all sound amazing! Thank you so much! I don’t know what a stovie is so I’m going to look that up. I like all of these suggestions.

Christ that's a complicated Stovies recipe and includes celery! Fuck me, it'll be a cold day in hell before that touches my stovies....

OP essentially it's onions, left over red meat roast (or sausages or sometimes even a tin of corned beef) and potatoes cooked in meat stock (usually beef). Cooked just so that the potatoes are soft (and bite size) and there isn't gravy as such. I think it's like scouse if that's more familiar. Fry off your meat and onions, add in your potatoes cut into small ish chunks and then add stock to just reach the top of your mixture and no more, add seasoning and simmer away until potatoes are cooked through and you have the desired consistency.

meant to add a

Celery?! Wtf?

Onions in stovies? Gads.

I never add stock to stovies, or celery, but I do add onions
