Dollar Box Invention Test | MasterChef Australia

I've got my three chicken drumettes ready to deep-fry later the next thing I need to do is make my parent enjoy our chutney boy thinking left-of-center as you really creamy white bean puree yeah and I'm gonna do a crispy fried chicken with ginger sticky sauce and would you normally pair in chicken wings but today I I have this moment of little bit of concern I might not be in that top three today I've never made a pear chutney or anything really like this but I'm not going to give up on it I think it's fantastic I'm going to go with my and six and plate up the dish that I initially thought so I'm hoping it works today there's only about five minutes left I pipe the curd into the meringue next step is to cut a nice little cylinder for the biscuit base it's now time to try and get those meringues out of the bowl it's critical that I get these Marines out if they don't come out I don't have a dish the Marines sticking to the side of the ramekin so I run a knife round there and try and loosen it up a little bit more [Music] but it still doesn't work a problem I'm starting to panic I'm running out of time it's looking terrible looks like a scrambled eggs it's just a mess and I'm in all sorts of I've got a spare meringue there if I don't get this one out I'm done for we're only tasting the best three dishes and he got three minutes to make yours back up guys the meringue hasn't come out of the mold it's kind of broken everywhere and there's lemon curd in the middle it almost looks like a scrambled egg with only a few minutes left there's a real danger that I actually won't plate up a dish today I've really got to get moving on this second meringue there's a real problem for me you know both of these meringues will cook the same way so if the first one didn't come out there's a real risk the second one's not going to come out either I'm relieved it looks like I'll be able to put something on to the plate just got to get that caramelized pear and carefully put it onto the top of the meringue and I'll be happy this is it one minute to go come on [Music] as I'm frying my sausage I look into my part my sausage exploded our things birthday I might be heading towards a bit of a train wreck [Music] [Music] have a win today it didn't work out the way I hoped I took the risk could have been great or could have been a disaster as taro is a disaster the boys on the back row definitely proud of myself because I've made a hollow hollow without deep ingredients that normally go into this dish I should be serious after the sweet bean it's sweet I'm really happy with how my dish turned out it looks beautiful it's something I'd really like to eat but from Gary's comment parents you can don't really go together I'm probably not going to get tasted but the fact that I put that up in an hour with those ingredients I'm really really happy it's a huge feeling of relief to have gone from what was looking like an absolute disaster for me to actually having something that looks beautiful and you know hopefully will be something that impresses the judges even then I started this tart with only half an hour to go I'm actually really really happy with what's on the plate the mystery box today was all about ingredients that you could buy for a dollar or under a dollar and I don't think that was as easy as you thought it was gonna be there's some of you that certainly struggled remember at the beginning of the challenge we said we were only gonna taste the three most of ealing dishes first one up is Georgia [Applause] giorgia a little surprised I'll be perfectly honest with you when I wandered around and said what are you doing I'm doing chicken wings with a pear chutney look the reason we picked you is it looks great I love how you trim those chicken wings yeah we love crispy crunchy chicken nothing wrong with that crispy chicken drumettes we white bean puree and a pear and ginger ale chutney you only had two chicken wings that appear to be free here and we want to know I think you've achieved a bit of magic so you've made a fake from it yes I have that's very very clever and we love it thank you you know what I like it's a clever dish on a budget and also like the fact that those chicken wings have been beautifully prepared to take a chicken wing everybody at home would normally just leave all the bones in and roast them with I don't know coca-cola or some sweet sours and I like the fact that you spent time and made it in a really special that little drum it's delicious I'm really impressed by this bunch of cooking Georgia well don't I'm really happy that they liked the technique I used and it's paid off it's just a really rewarding feeling when you get that positive reinforcement from the judges and to win today would be awesome next dish would like to taste belongs to Matthew [Applause] the women bring pie and ginger ale poached pear looks good oh it's cute yeah [Music] I'm gonna congratulate you for technique you know using a box of ingredients a budget driven to create something that's quite sophisticated with a bit of wow factor as well so as you cut into it you know something else appears so wonderful I love how far you've come actually love the fact you're learning I love that you're practicing I love that you're then showing it in the mystery box with a very constrained set of ingredients keep cooking like this and you're gonna be around for a long time [Applause] there's no doubt that my daughter Emily would be ecstatic at the moment I think she'd be really proud of the dish that I've made and I'm sure she's sitting at home waiting for me to come back so that we can make this together and she'll probably put her little spin on it as well and improve it for me you
