Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Rub lamb racks thoroughly with black pepper. Place on heated cast iron skillet and sear all sides. Place racks in oven to finish cooking for approximately 15 minutes, until medium-rare. Allow lamb to cool for about 10 minutes. Slice racks into chops and fan around a small pile of Cucumber, Tomato, Mint Salad.

Cucumber, Tomato, Mint Salad:
10 ounces goat cheese
2 to 4 ripe tomatoes
4 medium sized cucumbers, thinly sliced

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
In a large mixing bowl crumble goat cheese. Add tomatoes, cucumbers and onions to bowl. Cut mint leaves chiffonade-style into shreds and add to salad. Add vinegar and olive oil. Mix well. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then serve.

I tried this and was very happy with the way it turned out, I have never been a big fan of lamb, but with the mint, cucumber salad it was very refreshing. If you like lamb or just trying it for the first time try this one it is a great combination.

I do not have a cast - iron skillet. I use a heavy - bottomed pan or the outside grill to brown racks. I have noticed that to get the lamb racks medium - rare, I must leave them in the oven @ 375 for 40 min. Aside from the time difference, this is the easiest recipe yet ! Thanks to Paula Deen
