LEFTOVER LEG OF LAMB STEW
Comfort food at it's best! This is a great way to stretch that leftover lamb into a second meal. Smells DEVINE cooking. My hubby doesn't care much for leg of lamb - but tolerates it on occassion since the rest of us love it. He didn't even realize this was lamb - and he LOVED it! This would also work wonderful in a slow cooker / crock pot.

LEFTOVER LEG OF LAMB & RED POTATO STEW
No sense in wasting a good leg of lamb roast with the bones. This is a hearty-very flavorful stew. Marinating the roast overnight prior to cooking it makes a world of difference.

Steps:
- I use an overnight marinade for my roast. There are several on this site to pick from. I cook per recipe #600948 High Altitude Lamb. I have all the seasonings in the marinade that are listed in this, so I only add the slivers of garlic. Reserve the juices and freeze for use in the stew. After a few meals of the roast, I throw the leftover in the freezer until I want to make some stew.
- In a crock pot, combine all ingredients. Amount of vegetables can be adjusted. I state 4 cups of water, I add enough water to slightly cover the ingredients. Cover & cook on high for a few hours then turn on low and cook for about 8-10 more hours. I find with stew, the longer you cook it the thicker it gets. (If you prefer a thick stew, you can flour your lamb prior to placing in crock pot too.) All ingredients are adjustable to your taste.
- Prep time and cooking time do not include the cooking of the roast.

Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid so the stew can braise properly.
- Sear the lamb in batches to get a nice brown crust. This will add flavor and depth to the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and texture.
- Add herbs and spices to taste. Common herbs and spices used in lamb stew include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, and cumin.
- Let the stew simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender. Longer cooking will result in a more flavorful stew.
- Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
