Ingredients

2 racks lamb, frenched
Coarsely ground black pepper
Cucumber, Tomato Mint Salad, recipe follows

Directions

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. (Note: If you're not searing in cast iron, place lamb in a shallow baking pan for the oven.)

Cucumber, Tomato, Mint Salad:

10 ounces goat cheese

2 to 4 ripe tomatoes

4 medium sized cucumbers, thinly sliced

2 small white onions (Vidalia will work great for this if they are available), julienned

20 mint leaves

1/2 cup white vinegar

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.

Yield: 5 servings

The "Food Network" needs to fix recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Thankyou "Anonymous". I missed the seasoning part as well and went to the recipe and thought that just pepper is wrong. I'll... try this one now. Thanks again. I put 4 cuz I don't know yet but her recipes are pretty good.Read more

Mistake in the recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

On the show Paula added "house seasoning", but the recipe only calls for cracked pepper. I was not paying close enough... attention and was depending on the recipe to have the ingredients. If you only use cracked pepper the racks are not going to have very much flavor.Read more
