Recipes for Leftover Lamb

I love lamb and am thrilled when I have some leftover, whether it was roasted, braised or grilled. These are just a few ideas for using the meat in different ways, most of which are quick, easy and healthy. See the similar and related recipes for some of the original lamb recipes I use.

• Pasta - Cut some of the lamb into slices or cubes and add to your favorite store-bought or homemade tomato sauce. Cook just long enough to heat the lamb before tossing the sauce with pasta.
  
  
• Sandwiches - Cut into slices and make Lamb Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions and Cheese.
  
  
• Pita Sandwiches - Cut into thin slices and make Lamb Pita Sandwiches with Yogurt Sauce.
  
  
• Soup - Remember to save the bone from a leg of lamb to make a great Lamb Barley Soup.
  
  
• Shepherd's Pie - Cut the meat and any vegetables into small pieces, place in the bottom of an appropriately sized baking dish. Add some gravy or broth if desired. Then top with leftover or freshly made mashed potatoes. Brush the potatoes with melted butter. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
