Cinnamon Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi, Picked up one of the above at work for under £2! Question is what can I do with it? There are only 2 of us, so I would ideally like to make a batch of something to freeze in portions. Can it be sliced into steaks too? All ideas welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Think I'd spike it with garlic and anchovies then roast it as a whole piece, meat always roasts better as a bigger piece then smaller. Leftovers would either mince if you have mincer or chop into chunks/shreds and make cottage pie or mousakka, or both if you have enough. Or shred it and fry up with some spices and serves with warm flatbreads, tzatsiki, tomatoes, chilli sauce, whatever you fancy. Make a tabouleh salad and have the leftovers in that with feta cheese.

Cinnamon Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ah, lovely, but forgot to say that its got to be used soon & we are eating out for the next few days Would if couse roasted it, but its not practical this time. Its not a piece to casserole really, & I don't want to freeze it whole as we won't eat it roasted , just the 2 of us, in 1 sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'd freeze it as a whole, roast it as a whole, eat what we wanted as a roast and then use the leftovers as above. Otherwise dice it into cubes and freeze in portions for kebabs or curry as and when needed, or just slice into steaks and freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 With it being a leg I would either cut it into chunks for curry or tagine etc or mince it and freeze it in batches for moussaka etc. a good bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 It is a great bargain - they sent it to us...a whole tray of it, plus shanks, & it wasn't needed on the butchery counter, so we staff benefited 'Tis now chunked & languishing in the freezer.
