This recipe came about when thinking of ways to reinvent the leftovers from your roast lamb shoulder and it did not disappoint. You feel warm just looking at it! It's a simple recipe that you can adjust to whatever vegetables that you have in your fridge and it's perfect to have as back up meals in the freezer. The lentils could be swapped for soup mix, chickpeas or even small pasta.
