Here's what you'll need for this recipe. You can grab everything with a symbol from us:
Leftovers from Roast Leg of Lamb recipe or Lamb Mince (1kg)
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Carrot (1 large)
White Onion (1 large)
Fresh Rosemary (Sprig)
Lamb or Vegetable Stock (200ml)
Potatoes (4 large)
Dried Oregano
Tomato Puree (2 tsp)
Worcestershire Sauce (4 dashes)
Butter (75g)
This is a fabulous way to use up the leftovers from our roast leg of lamb recipe! We have included
below a start from scratch recipe too – using lamb mince.
Remove all the meat from the bone of your roast lamb, and all the goodies that remain in the
roasting tin including any gravy and veg.
Finely chop an onion and a carrot and gently fry with a sprig of rosemary and dried oregano until the onion is soft and translucent. Add 2 teaspoons of tomato puree and stir in well. Add 4 dashes of Worcestershire Sauce and all the meat/ goodies from above [or the mince from below] Add 200ml lamb or veg stock. Simmer and reduce.
Boil peeled and chopped potatoes until soft. Drain and let air dry. Add 75g butter, salt and pepper
to taste and mash well.
Check the lamb for seasoning and once the gravy has thickened sufficiently [we like it pretty thick!]
pour the mixture into a pre-heated roasting/ oven proof dish. Place the mash potato on top of the
lamb in big lumps and with a fork, flatten out the potato until it is generally the same thickness all
over. Try and leave 1cm to the top of the rim to avoid having to spend an hour cleaning your oven
after dinner!
Place in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 190 degrees C. Remove when the mixture is bubbling
and the potato is crisping and light brown on top! Nice served with minted peas and butter.
Enjoy with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon!
Using Lamb Mince
The process is really very similar to above!
Brown the mince in a frying pan with a glug or two of olive oil and a sprig of rosemary. Add 2
teaspoons of dry oregano and continue to fry for 3-4 minutes. Jump up to the recipe above at
‘finely chop an onion…..’ and follow that recipe to completion.
