leftover lamb

dido22 said:

Hello,

I often have roast lamb (shoulder) for Sunday & there is usually plenty left
over. I do not like cold lamb (eg in sandwiches) so have tried various ways
of reheating / mincing / currying with limited success (I am not a good
cook).

Humility is a virtue.

I'd cut it into small pieces and throw it in a pot with cut up
potatoes, salt, black pepper and oregano (and perhaps a little
garlic), and simmer it for a long time.

Shepherds Pie!

Fry slices of onion and diced carrot, add the small diced lamb along with
the stock or sauce leftovers. Turn out into pie dish.

Top with mashed potato and brown in the oven.

This is a very basic recipe and you can add whatever you like.

You can put grated cheese on top if you like

Instead of grilling meat, just heat up your leftovers.

Ooh, ooh! RAISING HAND!!!

Go Mexican and food process the leftover lamb and make lamb tacos or
taquitos!!! Including diced onions, tomatoes, avocado, cheese and salsa OR
hot sauce.

Or go Italian and cook up some lamb raviolis (ii?)!

Or go Greek and gyro some. It IS their famous cuisine after all!

We freeze slices of roast lamb or beef with gravy and re-use as a mid
week Roast Dinner

I concur! Sheperd's Pie is yummy and simple to make. I don't purchase leg
of lamb (too much meat for one person and not much freezer space) so I look
for ground lamb to make this dish.

Note: If you use anything other than lamb, it's called Cottage Pie.

Almost right. If you make it with beef it is Cottage Pie🙂

Stuffed bell peppers. Saute chopped onions and garlic, add chopped
tomatoes, corn, cooked rice, s&p to taste. Add the chopped lamb. Stuff
the peppers, first putting a tablespoon of tomato sauce in the bottom of
the pepper, then stuff the pepper, adding tomato sauce to the top of the
pepper before you bake them.

LOL I have a recipe for leftover turkey which is called Turkey Cottage Pie.
Wouldn't be right to call it Sheperd's Pie, after all. It's a way to use up
leftover turkey and gravy from Thanksgiving 🙂

I am having left over lamb tonight and am planning to make a sort of curry
out of it. Heat some oil in a pot and add chopped onion and garlic and
cook over med low until it softens, then add curry powder to taste, chopped
dried apricots or raisins, and chicken or beef broth and thicken it a bit
(I use veloutine to thicken). Then add chopped lamb and let is simmer for
about a half hour. Serve with rice or fried potatoes.

Christmas🙂

Cut it up into medium sized pieces. Put it into a large pan of water
and boil. Let it cool and skim the fat off the top, we prefer to do
this, but some leave the fat there. Add carrots, peas, leeks, onions,
potatoes, any other vegetables you feel like and boil it up until
they're all cooked. If you fancy making dumplings, these are good too.

This makes a traditional Welsh dish known as cawl. Although,
traditionally, you would use the bones and tough cuts of meat to add
the lamb flavour. Like many traditional dishes, it's simple and uses
whatever is around.

Right, only if it's made from shepherds.

A repost:

Below are a couple of recipes I posted before. The first one is a
favourite of Barb Schaller's.

A kind of pâté of leftover lamb. It can be used with other leftover
meat, too.

200 g (7 oz) leftover roasted lamb
1 [censored] apple or 1 tomato
1 small onion, very finely minced or even grated
2 eggs, boiled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 of small roasted or boiled beetroot
salt and pepper to taste

Put the meat through the grinder, add the grated apple (or chopped
tomato) and onions, chopped eggs, sour cream and, finally, beetroot.
Blend in a mixer. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve on an open-faced
sandwich or on a toast.

And here's a tip from Patricia Wells's 'Bistro Cooking'.

"Another cooking tip for leftover leg of lamb from Colette Dejean at
Paris's Chez Toutoune: Brown chopped shallots in butter, moistening
them with a touch of bouillon. Add freshly ground bread crumbs and a
bit of red wine vinegar. Cook over low heat until well blended, then
toss in a few diced sour pickles. Serve warm, over sliced lamb, which
can be served at room temperature or reheated."

Make extra (au jus) gravy when you have the roast lamb. Then make hot
sandwiches instead of cold: heat the gravy in a wide pan, warm the
French rolls, open some good brown or German mustard, slice the lamb
thinly. Dip the lamb in the gravy to heat it, then layer it nicely
onto the bottom half of the roll. Now also dip the top half of the
roll into the gravy before completing the sandwich. Pass the mustard
and some pickles at the table. -aem

Use the lamb in place of corned beef in a traditional corned beef hash
recipe.
