Delicious recipe, great way of using up left over lamb, quick and easy.
This was absolutely delicious, Delicious! Your recipes are always spot on
Agree with above comments on not understanding why this has such a low rate – I thought it was delicious! I was a bit more generous with the Worcestershire sauce, stock and puree so it could cook down a little longer and added some fresh rosemary – it turned out better then the roast I made the night before to give me the leftovers to make this. So good.
This is the testiest recipe for my leftover lamb I have no idea why its not 5 star
