My navarin of lamb is made with lamb breast, including bones and cartilage. This cut is usually available inexpensively at the supermarket; if you don't see it displayed with the meats, ask the butcher if he has a lamb breast in the back. Juicy and flavorful when stewed, the breast is a better selection for the navarin than the leg, which would be much more costly and not nearly as moist prepared this way.

Steps:
- Cut the lamb between the rib bones into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide. You should have about 14 pieces.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven cook the lamb, preferably in one layer, over medium heat, partly covered, for 30 minutes, until it has released most of its fat and is nicely browned on all sides. Remove the lamb to a plate and pour out and discard the fat. (You may have 1 cup of fat.)
- Return the meat to the pot, sprinkle it with the flour, and mix well. Add the onions, garlic, water, salt, pepper and herbes de Provence, mix well, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 30 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and carrots, and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Then, stir in the peas, and cook, covered, for 5 additional minutes.
- To serve, spoon the navarin onto individual plates and sprinkle with the parsley.
