LEFTOVER LEG OF LAMB & RED POTATO STEW

Steps:

• I use an overnight marinade for my roast. There are several on this site to pick from. I cook per recipe #600948 High Altitude Lamb. I have all the seasonings in the marinade that are listed in this, so I only add the slivers of garlic. Reserve the juices and freeze for use in the stew. After a few meals of the roast, I throw the leftover in the freezer until I want to make some stew.
• In a crock pot, combine all ingredients. Amount of vegetables can be adjusted. I state 4 cups of water, I add enough water to slightly cover the ingredients. Cover & cook on high for a few hours then turn on low and cook for about 8-10 more hours. I find with stew, the longer you cook it the thicker it gets. (If you prefer a thick stew, you can flour your lamb prior to placing in crock pot too.) All ingredients are adjustable to your taste.
• Prep time and cooking time do not include the cooking of the roast.
