Leftover minted lamb broth recipe

7 ratings

A light, fresh meat and veg soup that needs nothing more than a hunk or two of crusty bread to make a meal. This recipe is a mouthwatering leftovers idea from our soy honeyed leg of lamb dish. The leftover meat needs to be thoroughly reheated until piping hot and should never be re-heated more than once. See method
