Heat the coconut oil in a large pan on a medium heat and add the onion, garlic and peppers. Lightly fry for around 5 minutes until the onions start to turn golden brown.

Be sure to stir the pot every 15 minutes or so and add a splash of water if the lentils soak up too much liquid and it starts to get too thick.
