1. Pour the oil in a large pot over low heat and cook the onions for 10 minutes.
2. Add in garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, thyme, and chili flakes.
3. Cook for 3 minutes then stir in the vegetable stock, tomatoes, and lentils, then cook over low heat for 40 minutes.
4. Add some water if necessary.
5. Add the peppers and celery then cook for 15 more minutes.
6. Turn off the heat.
7. At this point, I recommend chilling the lentil mixture as more flavors are released.
