Method
-
Preheat the grill to high.
-
Heat a sauté pan until hot, add the meatballs and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown all over.
-
Tip the tomato and red pepper sauce into the pan, stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
-
Meanwhile, cut the baguettes through the middle, but not quite all the way through - you want to leave the lid on. Scatter half the red onion and jalapenos over the bottom half.
-
When the meatballs are ready, spoon them onto the baguette, on top of the red onions. Top with the remaining onions and jalapenos followed by the grated cheese then place on a tray under the grill and grill until the bread is just golden brown and the cheese bubbling.
-
Scatter with the basil and fold the top half of the baguette over and serve straightaway.
