  2. Brown them in a skillet with oil and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and chopped bell peppers.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and, once they soften, the white wine; let it reduce.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes and, once they cook down a bit, cover with water.
  6. Add the meatballs, the peas, and the potato in small pieces.
