Monday - we made a Lamb Ragu by mincing half of the remaining meat and simmering it with tomatoes, the remaining gravy, a splosh of red wine and some roasted veggies. Tossed through chunky rigatoni pasta, it was perfect for a wet evening after work.
Tuesday - tonight, I have just finished making some rissoles with the final bit of meat, minced with onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, mint, parsley, egg and some Garam Masala powder. They were then shaped into patties, egg-and-breadcrumbed, and will be fried to serve alongside new potatoes, roasted tomatoes and runner beans (reminds me of the old joke - what's in a rissole? Earhole, Eyehole and Ar$ehole - well not in mine, there ain't!)
I was left with the shank bone, which, were I being really frugal, and were it a bit chillier, I would have boiled up and made into Scotch broth, with turnip, carrot, leeks and barley.
So, love your leftovers, get that lovely joint of meat, and make the most of it for a good couple of frugal days.
