Finely dice the onion and sauté in a pan with the olive oil. Add the beluga lentils, fry briefly, and then deglaze with vegetable stock. Let the lentils cook for 20-30 minutes. They should be cooked through but still have a bit of bite. In the meantime, fillet the two oranges, reserving the juice. Finely chop the parsley. Mix the olive oil with the vinegar, mustard, and orange juice to make a dressing. Strain the cooked lentils and let them cool slightly. Toss with the dressing and let stand for 5 minutes. Fold in the orange segments and chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
