Method

  1. Cook the green lentils in unsalted water with the carrot in small dice for 25 minutes. Salt at the start would leave them hard.
  2. Boil the eggs 8 minutes — the yolk should be only just set.
  3. Dressing: mustard, a tablespoon of vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Whisk until it comes together into a cream.
  4. Drain the lentils and fold them into the dressing while still warm. A warm pulse drinks the dressing in; a cold one only wears it.
  5. Add the finely chopped onion and the parsley, and the halved eggs on top.
