In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots, tomato paste, ground chile pepper, and sea salt. Cook and stir until heated through, around 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the water and lentils. Bring to a boil, then cover the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir in the carrot-onion mixture. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Allow to cool to room temperature.
