Heat a large pot over medium to high heat and add olive oil, chilli flakes, garlic and onion.
Sauté until it begins to soften.
Add in carrot and celery and cook down for a couple of minutes. If the mixture feels too dry add in a splash of water.
Add in sweet potato and the rest of the spices. Mix well. Again, if the mixture seems too dry add a splash of water to get things moving again. Season with salt and pepper.
Once sweet potato starts to soften add in lentils and a can of diced tomato followed by two cans of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover and let it hang out for 20 min or until sweet potato and veggies are cooked thru. Add chickpeas and kale or spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Check for seasoning.. not spicy enough? Add more spice!
Finish with more sea salt and cracked pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
