Servings: persons

1/3 cup/75 ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 tbsp
6 paper-thin slices prosciutto di Parma, finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup/140 g finely diced carrots
1/2 cup/140 g finely diced red bell pepper/capsicum
2 cups/400 g green French lentils, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup/10 g finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

1
In a medium saute pan or frying pan, heat the 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the prosciutto and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and bell pepper/capsicum and saute for 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Set aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils with at least 4 cups/960 ml salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the lentils are just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the prosciutto mixture, along with the parsley and thyme; toss to combine.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and mustard. Gradually whisk in the 1/3 cup/75 ml olive oil until emulsified. Add the salt and pepper. Toss the lentil salad with the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
