Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Carve all leftover lamb off the bone, roughly chop and place in an ovenproof dish, or 2 individual pie dishes. Pour over some gravy, or if there's none left, just a bit of stock to moisten. Crumble the leftover potatoes over, then scatter with cheese and any leftover herb crumbs. Bake in the oven for 30 mins until golden on top and bubbling around the edge. If you've got any greens leftover, then quickly stir-fry to reheat and serve alongside.

    My husband made this for tea tonight and it was delicious. We used up the leftover beef from yesterday's roast, topped with leftover roasted parsnips, butternut squash and potatoes, some cheese and some dried herbs, and served with the other leftover veg, stir fried as suggested.

    Husband & I had this tonight, what a yummy way to use up Easter leftovers! If I'd had extra veg left I would've just added them with the meat at the bottom of the dish. The meat came out really tender which was a bit of a surprise as it was fairly solid when it went in!! Really delicious definitely adding to my binder for future reference.

    This was delicious. Had loads leftover from the 'leg of lamb cooked on potatoes' recipe, including some red wine and onion gravy. This was almost as yummy as the original roast dinner, and as bec said, the lamb came out really tender. A great way to use up the leftovers from a rather too big leg of lamb. Mmm...delicious! Will definitely be making again.

    This was delicious, a brilliant way to use up leftover leg of lamb. The meat was more tasty than the first day! Will try now with other Sunday leftovers.
