frugal friday

i rarely cook roasted meats but earlier this week i ended up roasting a half leg of lamb..that's because i ran out of time to mince it as i usually do and i don't like freezing meat..there was a lot of cooked meat left over so today i minced it and made it into two shepherd's pies..i added onion, carrot, homegrown celery and chilli, stock made from the bones and worcestershire sauce..on top i dolloped a creamy mash which i dotted with butter prior to cooking..

there's plenty of stock left over after using some of it in the meat base for the pies..after straining it through muslin i will make some soup over the weekend..

i wilted rocket leaves, stinging nettles and rapa leaves to make a warm green salad to have with the pie that i dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and murray river salt..

i hope you have a safe and happy weekend x
