Our tips for Lamb

Leftovers

Submitted by Sylvia Bailey, Telford

Freeze any meat left over from a roast, like beef, pork and lamb to use at a later date in a tasty curry.
Leftover roast

Submitted by Elizabeth Pratt, Romsey, Hampshire

If you haven't got time to make a shepherd's pie from your leftover roast, whiz the meat with an onion in the food processor and pour into a freezer bag for later. It is then quick and easy to cook the prepared meat mixture from frozen to make a shepherd's pie or rissoles.
Making mince go further

Submitted by Gina, Sydney, Australia

When making bolognese sauce or Shepherd's pie, I usually add a finely grated carrot and a finely grated courgette to the mix at the same time as the mince - this bulks it out considerably and you can't taste it. It's also a pain-free method of increasing vegetable intake.
Herb Cubes

If you have fresh herbs in the fridge that are going to go off, chop and sprinkle into ice cube trays, top with water, freeze and then put cubes into bags. Great for adding to soups, pasta sauces and stews.
Double Up

Double up on your family favourites. Make a big batch of Bolognese sauce, flavour half with chilli and make the other half into a Shepherd’s Pie. Have one for dinner and freeze the other for later.
