Ideas for leftover lamb shoulder?

Last edited Thu May 9, 2024, 11:38 PM - Edit history (1)

I've done sandwiches, tacos, shepherd's pie, but still have close to 2 pounds left. I don't want to freeze the rest, since it's already been frozen once.

ETA: It's already cooked. I've learned from experience that while you can grind roast lamb it doesn't make good meatballs. Might make an interesting ragout: it has a whole-grain and cumin mustard rub.

I chop a bunch of things up, and stir fry them.

First Onions: Cook these (chopped) until done.
Next potatoes (partly cooked or leftover)
Then zuccini

And lastly the lamb, cut in medium pieces. I add any drippings from the roast if I have them.

It's a lot of chopping, but it's delicious.

But it's something I'd rather have other people make for me (yes, I've made it once: it's time-consuming and requires ingredients I don't currently have on hand).

Lamb pasties, that is, Cornish hand pies, or lamb stew with barley or farro and mushrooms

If it’s not cooked, shish kebabs!
