Cook the pre-soaked lentils with bay leaves and half an onion until they are nearly soft.
Meanwhile, as the lentils cook, start sautéing the remaining chopped onion in heated oil. Once the onion is almost browned, add the grated carrot and celery, briefly sauté them, then stir in the chopped tomato, add a pinch of crushed cumin and pepper, and sauté for a while.
Remove the bay leaves and onion from the lentils, drain excess water if necessary, salt them, and mix in the prepared vegetable mixture along with the chopped Black Forest ham.
