"These meatball sandwiches are made with flavors inspired by Spanish cuisine. We seasoned the meatballs themselves with both sweet and smoked paprika, cumin and sherry vinegar. For the finished sandwiches we added onions sautéed with green olives, roasted red pepper sauce and melted Manchego cheese, then served them alongside Paprika-Dusted Potato Wedges (recipe follows)...."
