Roasted Leg of Lamb is such a great dish to serve to a large group of people. I originally created this for an Easter brunch collaboration but it really can be used for any type of event. 

My personal favorite part of this recipe is the blackberry chutney because it is incredibly flavorful and packed with fresh rosemary and balsamic giving the chutney a sweet and tangy flavor.

It really pairs so perfectly with the savory roasted lamb.

Enjoy!
