Peel the tomatoes and cut them into cubes.
Fry the potatoes first, then the eggplants, and finally the meatballs partially without fully cooking them.
Spread the fried ingredients in a baking tray.
Place the peppers and tomatoes on top and sprinkle with a little salt.
Mix the tomato paste with two cups of water and pour it over the arranged ingredients.
Cover with wet parchment paper and bake at 170-180 degrees Celsius.
Remove the paper 10 minutes before the end of baking to allow the top to brown. Enjoy.
