Paddy's Chile Verde Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Paddy's Chile Verde Recipe). One Easter I was unable to find a leg of lamb to roast, as is traditional in my family. The best I could find was chunks of lamb, in my local Mexican market. So I decided to defy tradition and use the ingredients around me. Best Irish-Mexican Easter EVER! Serve with toasted flaked almonds, crumbled cotija cheese, and homemade croutons.
