Seared Grouper with Torched Uni and Plantain Mofongo

Seared Grouper with Torched Uni and Plantain Mofongo

Savannah: "I have seared grouper. On top is epis spice, and mofongo of plantains on the side. Leek sprout, and then there's a butter sauce with flying fish."


Judges, behind the scenes


"Savannah's grouper dish, I feel like you could imagine yourself at, like, a beachside cabana and having, like, a garlicky green sauce, having really good mofongo." 


"Maybe that's what she was reaching for. When 50% of your dish is supposed to be mofongo, and you're calling it mofongo. That is not a mofongo." 


"It's a mofong-no."


Judges Table


"Savannah, have you made mofongo before?" 


Savannah: "I haven't. The plantains were probably a little under ripe."


"The mofongo was a little bit dry, a little bit starchy, and it wasn't having a conversation with the other side of the plate." 


"If you had just given us sauce and fish and sea urchin, I think it would have been fine."
