Method
In a very large saucepan, add olive oil then onion and cook till soft. Add garlic, celery and spices and cook gently for 5 mins. Next, stir through lentils, chickpeas and chestnuts, then
pour in hot stock.
Season with some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then leave to simmer on low for about 11⁄2 hrs, till lentils are soft and most of stock has been absorbed. Leave to sit, then taste and season some more, if you think it needs it. Serve on its own in a bowl with crusty bread or some rice.
