Rack of Lamb with Figs image

I've been making rack of lamb for years. My grandma gave me this recipe because she knew how much I love figs. And the toasted walnuts sprinkled on top give it just the right finishing touch. -Sylvia Castanon, Long Beach, California

2 racks of lamb (2 pounds each)
1 teaspoon salt, divided

This recipe was a disaster! The lamb was overcooked and the figs were burnt.
