Recipe Requests

Thanks Kaz I'll give that a go when they start going off lay, at the moment I'm having 4 a day and I think another girl will be laying very soon so would rather use them fresh. This is besides giving them to friends and family

 

It can be difficult to separate eggs once they have been frozen. So if you think your recipes will require only egg whites or egg yolks then consider freezing them already separated. You can crack your egg and separate the white into one ice cube spot and the yolk in another spot.

 

That's a clever lil tip I wouldn't of thought of, thank you

 

We have bought a full leg of lamb to eat over the Easter period. Does anybody have any good recipes for the lamb or it's leftover meat?

Thank you

 

I make slits in the lamb with the point of a knife, push in slivers of garlic, lay a sprig of rosemary over the top, cover with foil and roast in the oven.

Leftover lamb? That is very rare when we have it

Proper shepherd's pie? Just chop up the left over meat, reheat it slowly with the leftover lamb gravy in a pan while making some mashed potato; put into an oven dish, top with mashed potato and pop in the oven until heated through and the potato is golden. Scrummy!

Lamb "toad in the hole" - use strips of lamb instead of sausages.

Lamb curry?

I actually like the cold cuts served with (oven) chips and gravy Not fancy, but lovely.

 

Meat and potato pasties with plenty of mint in the mix

 

for your lovely suggestions.

We have decided to go with :

Lamb with rosemary and garlic and a rogan josh curry with the leftovers.

Meat and potato pasties with mint also sound scrummy, so one I will definitely make on another day

Shiney, your recipe also sounds gawjus, so I will be trying this one also.

 

Oh goodie! That's what is cooking in my kitchen now too

We are just on the aperitif whilst we're waiting
