Mexican Lamb & Spanish Rice

Lamb is a staple protein often found on carving stations in grand buffets. We took this lamb dish on a journey to Mexico with familiar flavours like cumin, chili and paprika. We recommend pairing it with classic Spanish style rice for maximum oomph! Check out the recipe below.
