Method

Rinse and drain the lentils. Peel and finely slice the carrots. Chop the peeled onion.
Put the lentils, carrots and onion in the pressure cooker with 600 ml (20 fl oz) water, salt, pepper and the bouquet garni. Close and microwave for about 10 minutes. Let it stand for 15 minutes so the cooking finishes and the pressure drops, then drain and cool in a bowl.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
Just before serving, stir the ham and diced Cantal into the lentils, dress with the vinaigrette, mix and finish with chopped parsley.
