  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 ounces extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 6 ounces Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

Cut the rack of lamb along the bone into chops, then season with salt and pepper. 

Make yogurt sauce by combining cilantro, jalapeño, lime zest, lime juice, Greek yogurt, cumin, and salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, then set aside.
