Lamb Provencal is another way of using breast of lamb. The breasts are left whole and poached in water to make the meat tender and to melt most of the fat from inside the layers. The lamb is then browned in the oven, topped with a mixture of parsley, garlic, onion, and bread crumbs, and baked some more. After poaching, the breasts could be grilled on a barbecue or crisped under the broiler. They will be crusty on top, but cooked inside.

Whole onions baked in aluminum foil, a very simple recipe, go well with this dish.
