1. Pull out the sausage meat from its casing and with wet hands roll into cherry tomato-size meatballs. Place on a greased baking sheet.
2. In a pan heat oil over medium heat, then cook the meatballs in batches until browned. Gently remove from the pan back onto the baking sheet.
3. When all the meatballs are done add the onions and fry for 2 minutes. Stir in the mixed herbs, tomatoes, bay leaves and lentils and fill one tin with water to add to the pan. Cook for 8 minutes then return the meatballs and simmer for 10 minutes more.
