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."

  • In a large pot bring water and lamb bone to a rapid boil, reduce to medium heat. Cook for 2 hours to reduce. Remove bone.
  • Add barley, boulion, celery, bell peppers, carrots, and spices. Reduce heat to low for about 35 minutes.
  • Add pre-cooked lamb (remember this is leftover) shredded or cut into small pieces.
  • Add peas, vinegar, and small can of condensed soup (any kind will work - celery, mushroom, tomato, potato.) Stir well, reduce heat to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Serve with a fresh sprig of parsley and peasant bread. YUM YUM!

Questions & Replies

  1. Had a issue making this. It turned out fine in the end very good but at the beginning when you boil the lamb bone, are you supposed to cover the pot? After 90 minutes the water was so low I stopped and this was at a simmer. I ended up adding 4 more cups of water as it was so dry. But it turned out very good in the end just thinking a instruction was left out. I triple checked i added 12 cups to start with.
     
  2. Help I want to make this today! But: How does the barley cook in 35 min when most instructions to cook barley take 50-60 min?

  1. This was just fabulous. Since I had already given the bone to our dog, I had to use Lamb bouillon for the starting liquid. Made it pretty salty, but it didn't ruin the flavor. The balance of veg and barley was great to the amount of lamb we put in, and it was nice and thick. I used Cream of Mushroom soup, and a bit of extra garlic. I would certainly do this again! (And save the bone next time!) Thanks for a nice stew!
