Is there such a thing as lamb stock?

Have got the remains of a leg of lamb and wondered whether it was possible to make into stock, in the manner of our hardy predecesors. Seems a shame to waste it.....

If the bone is still in it's worth a shot...as long as you like Scotch Broth! :)) Lamb stock is pretty insipid...stick lots of onions in.

Roast the bone on a low heat for a good hour or so, before you make it into a stock - it will yield more flavour

[pablogrande]

when you boil the stock put an onion in with the skin still on

When I pick up bones from the butchers for stock, unless specified it's usually whatever random bones they have in the box. I have since learned to avoid the lamb bones as it just doesn't taste "right" to me.

In order of preference for stock-making it's

Veal

Beef

Chicken

Lamb

for me anyway
