Leftover Lamb Stew Recipe<\/h2>\n

I have a confession to make: a love lamb. \u00a0It sounds crazy, me being the animal lover that I am. How can you eat those fluffy bouncing baby lambs? Well…I try not to be a hypocrite. Unless I can be a complete vegetarian, I will be open to eating all types of animals, and that includes lamb.<\/p>\n

Lamb roasts are a staple of many international cuisines. Here at Seven Oaks, a roast lamb is almost always on the menu for Easter. But with just a few people, we never can eat a full leg of lamb. My husband cuts the larger cut of meat into smaller segments and I package them and freeze them for future meals.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a roast lamb last weekend, and I was stuck with just one slice – one small slice – leftover. My dog gets the runs when she eats lamb, so chopping it up for her was out of the question. Besides, lamb is expensive here, and it’s also delicious so…why not a lamb stew?<\/p>\n

I modified my usual Italian beef stew recipe for the cooked lamb. I made it in my CrockPot\u00ae (slow cooker) using fresh garden vegetables and herbs, plus a few pantry staples. \u00a0I served some dinner rolls on the side, and it was a delicious, filling meal.<\/p>\n

A sprig of thyme added plenty of flavor to this dish along with tarragon and savory.<\/p><\/div>\n

The fresh herbs in this recipe all came from my garden. I felt they added layers of flavor to the dish that dried herbs do not. You can use dried herbs from the grocery store if you do not grow fresh herbs.<\/p>\n

This leftover lamb stew recipe was a big hit at my house. If you have leftover beef or even rabbit, you could also use it in the stew recipe.<\/p>\n
