1. Knead the minced meat thoroughly with the onion, bread, egg, cumin, parsley, salt and pepper, and shape into finger-thick logs about 8 cm long.
2. Fry the patties in a little oil for 2 minutes per side, just to form a crust. ⏱ Timer: 2 min
3. Half-fry the potato wedges in hot oil for 5-6 minutes (or pre-roast them in the oven). ⏱ Timer: 5 min
4. In a baking dish, arrange the patties, potatoes, tomato slices and peppers in alternating rows.
5. Mix the tomato paste with the hot water, season with salt and pepper, and pour it into the dish.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 200 °C for 20 minutes, then a further 15 minutes uncovered, until the potato is tender. Serve with rice or bread. ⏱ Timer: 20 min

Tips

• Pre-frying the potato means it becomes tender at the same time as the meat.
• Even tastier the next day.
