Leftover lamb

[amanda_pennsylvania]

I have a couple of pounds of frozen, roasted lamb leftover from Easter. I'd like to do something with it, but I'm not quite sure what. Although--I'm envisioning a gyros-type sandwich with chunks of feta and slivers of onion and slices of lamb all tucked into pitas. Plus that sauce--what's the sauce they use on gyros sandwiches?

Anyway, any thoughts on what I should do with this lamb? (It was roasted with rosemary and garlic, btw.) Thanks much...hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend.

The gyros sound great! How about lamb curry? Here are two recipes:

Moussaka is another idea.

Or lamb stew.

Great ideas--thaks! I have enough lamb to do a couple of dishes.

So I think I'll do the gyros and the lamb stew. I'd love to do moussaka, but I'll have to see how much I have left.

I found a recipe for gyros on Epicurious; it got good reviews so I think I will try it. I'll substitute lamb for the chicken.

Ooh, that Epicurious one sounds delicious!

Ha! Add that to my "lefover" lamb curry - second one listed.

Doesn't it sound good? Now I really want that for dinner!
