How to prepare baked meatballs with new potatoes and peppers

For the meatballs, soak the bread in milk. Saute the finely chopped onion in oil until very soft. Add the onion over the ground meat along with all the seasonings and the bread (removed from milk but don't squeeze it too hard). Mix until homogeneous. Make a small meatball from this mixture and fry it in the pan where you sauteed the onion. Taste the fried meatball and see if the seasoning is good (especially salt).
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them flattened (like hamburgers) so they cook evenly. Put the meatballs in the refrigerator until needed. They can be shaped a few hours ahead.
Peel and slice the new potatoes into rounds. Dice the pepper. Finely chop the parsley and onion. Slice the garlic.
Mix all of the above in a wide bowl. Season with salt and black pepper and pour the oil and tomato sauce. Mix well. Put the vegetables in a large oven-safe dish.
Pour the broth slowly along the edge of the pan, so it doesn't wash the seasoning off the vegetables.
Bake at 200C for 20 minutes.
Place the meatballs on top and put a tomato slice on each meatball.
Bake for another 20 minutes.
Serve warm.
