What can you do with left over lamb?

HI ALL! Have any of you read 'Lamb to the Slaughter' I think this story offers a creative way to use left over Lamb! give it read, then give it a go. I sure did!

Was that one of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexprcted, which were televised?

Lamb is the basis of the traditional Irish Stew. Dice it, the dog can have the easily removed fat, but don't cut it all off - you need the fat for flavour - and mix it with chopped carrot and onion, potatoes and seasoning. Add some liquid such as stock, water and some wine or guiness or beer.
Top it with sliced potatoes, brush them with oil and cook in a slow oven until the veg are soft and the topping is brown and crisp.
Yummy with crusty bread.

Welsh Cawl is similar, I have made it with leftover lamb.

Simmer in stock with carrots, swede, onion (chopped) potatoes, then add leeks, add chopped parsley just before serving.

Make Scouse with it as in Witzend's recipe!

Sandwich, but given a choice sliced on a plate and just left all for me I love Lamb

And when you've eaten up all the leftover lamb in one of the recipes, boil up the bone with a couple of bayleaves and some peppercorns to make a base for soup.
Shred any remaining meat which is clinging to the bone and return it to the stock; dispose of the bone, peppercorns and bayleaves.
Leave the liquid to cool overnight then, the next day, skim off any fat which has set on the surface. Add your preferred ingredients, herbs and seasoning, maybe some little pasta. Cook until soft and you have a nutricious, delicious lunch.

I'm amazed that some folk ate suggesting putting it in the bin!! Surely food should not be wasted no matter how wealthy you are? Why buy such a large joint? I can't remember the last time I bought a lamb joint! M0nica definitely has the best ideas!!

Thank you Mokeswife. I absolutely agree with you. I am horrified at that idea that anyone would throw good quality expensive food like meat away. It is so unnecessary.

At its simplest you do a quick google search 'recipes lamb/cooked lamb'. More basicly you shop in a way that will ensure there is no meat left to throw away. A roast lamb in gravy ready meal is better and wasteless, comparedwith a joint half eaten and then discarded.

Good old British Shepherds pie.

Give it to the dog.
