2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
cup celery stalks, diced

Put the lentils, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaf and thyme in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring mixture to a quick boil, lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked (dont let them get mushy).
