Leftover Lamb Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Sauté 2 medium onions, cut in thin slices, in 3 tablespoons butter until delicately browned. Combine with 1 1/2 cups diced cold lamb, 1 cup leftover lamb gravy or canned beef gravy, 1 clove garlic, finely chopped, 2 cups cooked rice and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Correct the seasoning and bake, covered, at 350°F for 45 minutes.
• Delicious served with butter French peas and sliced ripe tomatoes with dill dressing. For dessert, oven-baked apples with raisins and honey with sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium frying pan saute the onion in butter until soft and lightly browned.
• In a medium sized casserole combine the sauteed onions with the remaining ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake covered for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Brown bacon in a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Add onion and saute until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and saute until mushrooms start to release their juices, about 4 minutes.
• Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Allow to boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Add lamb, tossing to coat. Stir in tomatoes and rosemary. Add salt. Bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lamb is tender, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

• Place eggplant in a colander set in a bowl or the sink; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Let eggplant stand for at least 1 hour. Rinse off the bitter liquid and excess salt and drain well.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and celery; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent and celery is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• While vegetables are cooking, combine ground cumin, oregano, rosemary, paprika, mint, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or mortar and pestle and mix well; this is the lamb seasoning (see Cook's Note). Set seasoning aside.
• Stir eggplant cubes and garlic into the vegetables in the skillet, mixing well, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with half of the lamb seasoning mixture. Reserve remaining seasoning. Stir gently and cook for 5 minutes more.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Pour chicken broth and half the can of tomato sauce into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes; add a little water if the sauce starts to get dry. Transfer the sauce to the prepared casserole dish.
• Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and heat the reserved tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place ground lamb into skillet and sprinkle with remaining seasoning mixture. Brown lamb in the hot oil, stirring frequently, until the meat is evenly browned; it should look like imperfect meatballs.
• Gently transfer the lamb to the casserole dish, pushing it down into the vegetable mixture so that it is at least partially submerged. Stir fresh lemon juice into the remaining tomato sauce and pour the sauce over the casserole.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending upon how tender you like your vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200oC (fan 180oC).
• Place a large pan with one tbsp olive oil on the hob. Once the oil has heated up add the onion, carrot and leek to the pan and fry gently until they start to get a bit of colour.
• Add the lamb and keep cooking for a couple more minutes then stir in the flour to absorb the juices.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce to the pan to deglaze and then add the stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then season.
• Tip the lamb mix into an ovenproof dish. Slice the potatoes and layer them on top. Brush the top with the remaining olive oil and season.
• Cook in the oven for around 30 minutes until the potatoes are golden.
