Darlings, can any of you help me out with what to do with the pound of chopped lamb shoulder sitting in my fridge? I'm craving meat, seriously.

What I do have in the house: one onion; carrots; potatoes; chicken stock; fresh and canned tomatoes; various spices; frozen spinach; flour/sugar/brown sugar/salt/honey; navy beans; handful of walnuts, almonds and lentils; apples; noodles; bread; vinegar; wine; cooking oil; butter; eggs; lemon juice.

What I don't have: garlic; any other onion type things; any other fruits or vegetables; any dairy product except butter; rice; fresh herbs; basically anything else you can think of.

I can't afford to go to the grocery store, and all my cookbooks are depressing me. If any of you know something tasty I can do, please share!

Hee, I was just going to suggest this!

Also, pearl_o, stew is easy. You don't need a recipe! Saute the onion, brown the lamb, add cut-up carrots and potatoes and apple and lentils and stock, and let cook for a good long time. Add spinach not long before you eat it, and I'd put in curry-ish spices like cumin and coriander and black pepper. If you want to thicken it, melt butter, add some flour, pour in a bit of the liquid from the stew and mix it around, then pour it all back into the main stew pot.
