Place 300 grams (10.6 oz) of washed lentils in a pot and cover with cold water by 3 cm (1 inch). To make an onion pique, attach a bay leaf to a whole peeled onion using a clove as a tack.
Place the onion in a pot with the lentils.
Cover the pot and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until the lentils are tender but still intact, and all the water is absorbed. Discard the onion pique.
Mince 1 onion, thinly slice 5-6 scallions, and chop some parsley. Add to the warm lentils.
Combine 10 grams (2 teaspoons) of mustard, 20 ml (2/3 fl oz) of red wine vinegar, or another vinegar to your taste, 1 teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Gradually whisk in 30 ml (1 fl oz) of vegetable oil.
