Spicy SWEET POTATO Wedges

THE RECIPE

So it is another tapa, but who doesn't just love tapas, I do. However this is made with sweet potato which has a natural sweetness, the result is a much more interesting flavor contrast than you get with regular white potatoes. So go ahead and give these a try! 

INGREDIENTS:
                       
1 large Sweet potato, peeled and cut into wedges
3 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Ground cumin
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Sprigs of Flat-leaf parsley to garnish 

Magic MEATBALLS in ALMOND Sauce

THE RECIPE

In Spain, meatballs are called albóndigas. I love these Spanish-style meatballs, which feature a few ingredients that you wouldn't normally expect. These meatballs are pretty much your standard recipe made with pork, but are served in a sauce that includes almonds and bread. It is the sauce that really sets this dish apart. So for a bit of Spanish flair, go ahead and give these meatballs a try. You won't regret it!
