We had a lovely leg of lamb over easter and the leftovers contributed to a lovely shepards pie and some cornish pasties, which also used up the leftover veg from the roast dinner.

It was roasted. I'll edit the OP ta.

Stovies - dead easy!
Recipe:
50g (2 oz.)beef dripping or butter
3 medium onions, roughly chopped
1 kg (2 pounds)potatoes
125-250g (4-8 ounces) cooked beef or lamb (leftovers from a roast dinner)
2 -3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, chives, or spring onions
Seasoning salt, freshly ground black pepper
Heat fat in a large heavy-base pot (one with a tight-fitting lid) and add the onions. Cook until lightly brown. Peel potatoes if they are old, but leave the skins on new potatoes. Slice about 5mm (1/4-inch) thick. Or slice roughly in different thickness so that the thin go into a mush, while the others stay whole. Add them to the pot with the onions and stir well. coating all sides with the fat. Put the lid on and cook over a very low heat, shaking the pot once or twice to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are cooked. Add the meat, mix through, and turn up the heat to brown a little.

Not very quick
Less than an hour no??

pogofish - does there need to be anything in with the potatoes when you cook them? Stock or water?
And what's that with the stovies?
And what's that with the stovies?
Probably about an hour-ish including preparing the veg and gravy. Probably won't get home til gone 9 tonight.

I'd just eat it reheated on its own with some steamed kale and mash

Might be a plan... I just fancied something a bit different I hadn't done before but that was easy and quick

Didn't realise you could make these two with cooked meat.

I just shreded down the lamb with a knife (I slow roasted it for 5 hours so it was uber tender anyway) and added this to a tomato sauce I had made and then bunged in a tin of baked beans. Best sheperds pie ever and beats the mince version for taste.

F.O.A.D
Do it all the time with leftovers. With beef it's usually stew, with lamb it's usually hotpot. But if there's enough, I do rissoles sometimes

Otherwise, frying up bits of it in a frying pan then adding a bit of soy sauce and having it stuffed into a hot pitta with some mayo and salad is very quick.
Leftover lamb does really well this way - it goes all lovely and crispy on the outside but stays tender - and most of the time you find that it also has enough fat on it that you don't even need to add extra oil (but if you do need to then just add a little and wipe it around the pan with a bit of kitchen roll).

They don't sound too bad xes, but don't have any sort of mincing machine.
Like the idea of stir fried lamb though.
That looks lush, but takes too long

Its how they taste, not how they look & IME - the more mushed-up the better.
Those stovies were particularly good BTW!

You can use either but IME stock works best, esp if you don't have much meat & add more veg instead.

Stir fried lamb is lovely - works well with spring onions, and some thinly sliced carrot and leek. Lamb goes well with garlic so it's good to bung loads (several cloves) of thinly sliced garlic in too, with some soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and a splash of rice wine or sake type thing if you have any. Serve with noodles.

rub it with oil mixes with a tsp of chinese 5 spice, and shove it under the grill to crispyfy it..
then serve it with chinese pancakes and hoy sin sauce, with cucumber and spring onion.
sriously works.
