LAMB IN A THYME SAUCE
Cut the slices of lamb roast into 1/2 inch strips. Prepare a marinade by combining the chartreuse, the white wine, 1 cup of oil, freshly ground pepper and the bunch of thyme, saving 4 sprigs aside. Marinate the lamb for 3 hours in the refrigerator. Simmer 4 sprigs of thyme with the milk and the cream, for 20 minutes on a very low heat. In a saucepan, make a roux by cooking the butter and the flour, then gradually add the thyme infusion. Place on a low heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Keep warm. Meanwhile, heat up the remaining oil in a frying pan, quickly sear the drained lamb slices, they should be rare. Serve the lamb with the sauce decorated with a few thyme leaves.
