redhotchick Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I bought a leg of lamb half price last weekend but it was still £10. There's only me and my OH so that would be a lot of money for one roast dinner. Anyway, I cut off the shank end, and put it in the freezer. It's large and should make a lovely casserole for 2 people. I roasted the rest and had it on Bank Holiday Monday. With the "leftovers" I made a curry with a jar of Madras sauce that I had in, with the addition of sweet pepper, onions and cherry tomatoes. Froze half the curry for another time. On Wednesday I put what was left in the slow cooker overnight with carrots, onion, potatoes, water and salt. (Scouse). It made enough for 4 big portions. 12 meals. I'm rather pleased with myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Round of applause! Well done. Was the leg dinosaur sized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks Koojie. I think it weighed 2 kilos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 You did very well - I couldn't make a leg of lamb go that far.... I did buy 9 very large new zealand lamb shanks at the market last week for £40. Never seen shanks so big ! Serious bargain. So much for trying to empty / defrost the freezer - it's full again ! One did two of us last weekend for a good sized Sunday dinner - cooked in slow cooker with onions and carrots.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
