As if by magic:
Armenian Lamb Pilaf
Pinch saffron, steeped in 2tbsp boiling water
350g aubergine cut into smallish cubes
300g leftover shoulder of lamb cut into bits
olive oil
200g onions, peeled and chopped
2 mild green chillies, deseeded and chopped
tin of chopped toms
2tsp ground cumin
1tsp garam masala
225g basmati rice, washed and drained
350ml stock
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
50g pine nuts
50g sultanas
bunch of coriander, chopped
Fry the onions gently until soft and golden, then add the chillies and tomatoes. Cover and cook gently for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180C
Fry the aubergine gently, with the cumin and garam masala until soft.
Add to the tomato sauce, along with the lamb and the rice. Mix well over a low heat. Add stock and saffron, plus a bit of salt (or not if your stock is salty). Add garlic, pine nuts and sultanas. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for ten minutes. Take lid off, poke it all around with a fork, and stir in the coriander.
Shamelessly nicked from Simon Hopkinson. And then adapted a bit.

Favourites for leftover lamb here are mousakka, shepherds pie or irish stew or hot pot, depending on leftover what - usually mousakka with a leg, but if there's any of rack leftover, I often make stock and do the stew or the hot pot, or if there's not much meat, scotch broth.
Come to think of it, it's rack of lamb on Sunday, so I'm going to dig the foreshank out of the freezer, and make soup out of the bones (I have a feeling they're won't be much meat!)

Sorry, I know this is not much use but I tend to just eat it cold. Mmmm, especially if it's still on the bone and I can gnaw it.

I like to just shred it up with some mint sauce, to eat cold in sandwiches with a bit of salad.

I thought it was illegal to use leftover lamb for anything other than shepherd's pie. (Unless I manage to steal it all to eat cold beforehand).
