Episode Summary
Heirloom Tomato Team Relay – The 16 remaining contestants were divided into four teams and asked to cook a dish featuring heirloom tomatoes in a team relay, given 20 minutes each to cook and 30 seconds to transfer information to the next cook. Josh P., who was captain of the blue team, decided to cook red emperor fish on potato rosti with tomato and seafood sauce. Juan (green team) decided to make a simple tomato pasta dish. Darrsh (red team) opted to cook lamb shanks with polenta and Italian tomato sauce and Harry (grey team) selected a seafood curry. The red team’s lamb shank was praised, but Lachlan’s decision to change the sauce to a South American chili sauce and over-reduce it made the dish unbalanced; the dish was also lacking seasoning. The green team’s ‘herlouminous pasta’ was tasty and balanced but the crumb was criticized for being too oily and the judges felt that it was more of a 45-minute dish rather than an 80-minute dish. While the grey team’s seafood curry was praised for the cooking of the seafood and flavours, it was the blue team’s red emperor dish that featured the heirloom tomatoes the best, making the blue team the winners of the challenge and gaining them immunity from elimination.
