What meal could I make with the remains of a leg of lamb?
There is quite a lot of meat left on the bone and I'm getting a bit fed up with lamb sandwiches!
Answers:
Brown Stew (Irish Stew to non Irish)
Chop up the meat into stew sized chunks. Chunky chop lots of carrots (depending on your meat) same with loads of spuds. One onion. Again depending on how much you make 1.5 pints of lamb stock (don't use oxo make sure its a stock cube) All into a big pot. 1/4 tea spoon of salt and boil away. After 1/2 hour add 1 beef oxo cube (sprinkled) Keep stirring and after about an hour the potatoes will have disintegrated somewhat and the stew will be thick. The potatoes should be brown hence brown stew.
Very nice with white pepper. Better still if you let it go cold and heat it up again. It really "stews" very tasty.

a nice curry
How about a nice stew or casserole.
rissols: clump it together with breadcrumbs and coat with flour and then fry

I'd go with the curry idea.
morrocan cous cous w/lamb. just type that in at yahoo web search and you'll find lots of recipes. it's easy,tasty and elegant. you might need to buy some spices you might not already have. it's worth it
Mix the meat into a curry.
If you want to bother chopping it up, adding chopped onion and a tin of gravy and top with mashed potatoes, bake @ 350o for 1/2 hr. you'll have Shepherd's Pie.
A lamb risotto ! Dead easy and delicious,otherwise stirfry with onions ,egg noodles,(or plain rice),beansprouts and soy sauce.! Cheap and lovely,just like a girl I used to know!
lamb curry or a madras or a casserole or even a delicious stir-fry. Enjoy whatever you make.
mince it off the bone for shepherds pie.
Make a lamb stew. Add the cooked lamb (bite -sized pieces) to an assortment of cooked vegetables such as peas, potatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, a little beef broth, and salt and pepper to taste. Then, you can freeze what you don't want to use right away, in portions.
Lancashire hot pot - though you won't be following this exactly as the lamb is already cooked:

Get some veg (as much as you like) slightly par boil in water with a vegetable stock cube. when as tendered to taste mix in pieces of lamb and cornflour to the thickness you like. (1 tsp goes a long way) Pour in to a oven proof pie dish, get some ready made, rolled out pie pastry and cover over the top. Bake on gas 5 for atleast 40 minutes or until pastry is cooked through. Lovely lamb veg pie. Can make it as big and small as you like.
Slice it and make toasted lamb sandwiches (add salt, pepper and onion or fried onion if you prefer)
Dice it, add onion and make a curry to your liking - (I'd fry the onion till brown, add the meat anfd fry for a little until hot then add ground spices and/or curry powder - finally add cream and chopped corriander (cilantro) and enjoy.
Mince it, add mushrooms and onion and make a mousaka.
