“Pretty happy with my ‘offcuts’ of 13 lamb cutlets at Woolworths!” she captioned the post.

The packet of lamb offcuts cost the shopper $6.90, while lamb cutlets at Woolies are priced at around $43 a kilo.

Members of the Facebook group were pretty impressed with the shopper’s win.

“Bargain,” one person wrote.

“I’ve seen actual lamb cutlets with less meat,” another said.

“Wow that’s an incredible buy, good for you,” a third wrote.

Not many people buy lamb offcuts at Woolworths, with some people in the comment section unsure how to cook them.

“Sorry to sound silly but what would you use the offcuts for?” one person asked.

Others replied saying they buy lamb offcuts for their pets, or to make a stew.

“Some of the offcuts are perfectly good meat. At worst (they) make the best slow cooked meal,” someone commented.

Lamb offcuts casserole

One person shared an old recipe she still follows using lamb offcuts for a casserole.

“A really good, very old recipe from the ‘Campbell Soup can of soup recipe book’ from the 80’s,” she wrote in the comments.

Ingredients

• 1 can of Campbell’s cream of celery soup
• Chopped onion
• 1/2 – 1 cup of frozen peas
• A couple of sticks of celery with the leaves, sticks in the middle of the bunch
• 6-8 smaller potatoes, peeled and quartered
• Lamb offcuts (fat cut off)
• Plain flour for dusting lamb
• Chicken stock to cover all the ingredients
• Cornflour for thickening

Method

• Dust the lamb offcuts
• Place in slow cooker (on high) or in lightly sprayed casserole dish, oven set to 180 degrees Celcius.
• Add chopped onion, chopped celery, potatoes, stock and can of soup. Mix lightly and then cook. Stir a couple of times while cooking.
• When finished, stick sharp knife into meat/potato and if it’s cooked, it will be tender and moist.
• Mix about 1/4 cup cornflour with water until it’s mixed, no lumps, and smooth. (The amount of Cornflour to be used depends on the amount of liquid in the pot). Add slowly to the slow cooker or casserole dish as you stir constantly. DO NOT pour the cornflour in without stirring as you pour slowly otherwise you’ll have a gluggy mess at the bottom and your dish is wrecked.
• Serve as is over a bed of mashed potato.
