Mary Berg's Elevated Tuna Casserole Reinvention | MasterChef Canada | MasterChef World

first up my personal obsession tuna casserole here we've got the noodles for the starch the tuna fish for the protein and then you've got the nice baby green peas for that lice little pop of freshness that you're looking for in a casserole cheese fish I don't know that doesn't seem to go together my sort of mo is doing classics with a twist I'm gonna try and get a PITA Lotte done with some tortellini stuffed with celery puree and some seared tuna when I think tuna I think the Mediterranean and I think sushi and I can't make sushi so I'm going Mediterranean I think I've barely scratched the surface of what I have to show what is it about that tuna casserole that could trip up these home cooks in a tuna casserole it's often canned tuna it's also a strange combination your cream and fish and cheese and noodles there's so many things going into it that don't make sense together that's has had so many things going on never had tuna casserole before I have to elevate into something more modern Fergus making some sort of mixture here trying to wrap my head around cheese and tuna so I decide to just put them together quite literally and hope for the best this looks so interesting I decided to do a Asian twist on the tooth doodle casserole I've never had tuna casserole I've only ever had tuna from the can today I'm gonna be bringing in my unicorn power and rainbows actually gonna crust my tuna steak with chopped up almonds and black sesame chopping some fun chopping so far I love shopping I am making a deconstructed tuna casserole because it's gonna showcase my strong ability to make pasta I've made handmade pasta more than I can count I'd say it's the thing that I'm the best I'm gonna be using a variety of chilies that isn't necessarily traditional I feel like I'm one of the stronger competitors here and I'm gonna nail this [Music] Aaron's right underneath us we can see that he's doing these beautiful pasta from scratch and that those sexy thanks brother this competition is the only thing that matters right now my food dream is to be a restaurateur I'd really love to own my own joint and every day that I'm here is a step closer to making that a reality hi tuna casserole Mary's favorite dish how are you going to elevate I'm gonna take an Asian twist on it I'm gonna do a tuna tataki you like literally read my mind that is where I would go oh sure look I was thinking I would do is just hockey and the Japanese flavors yeah who is gonna have the most trouble honestly before the challenge I did see tails struggling a little bit to conceptualize the idea so maybe her but honestly she always pulls it out of the bag so I don't even know is it gonna be you hell no I love your shoes [Laughter] first year I've been so busy working on my sauces my purees my bread crumbs I need to start making my ravioli my ravioli is so thick but I had no time to change it dad's pasta is not good I'm freaking out for her oh my god Mesut song she's keeping to her sone and not running around as much as really anybody else trevor seems like a confident dude and i think that's a great thing but that can only take you so far in this kitchen the cream sauce was tasty but bright spicy I'm not sure how that flake is going to come together I am doing the best they are all cutting it close [Music] Hey [Applause] [Applause] before we taste we have one more piece of business to take care of Matt and Justine can save one of you I had this great idea to elevate the tuna casserole and Oh save me throw me a bone please they shouldn't save me I want the judges to see my dish I think my dish is gorgeous we choose [Music] justine and I both know that taya has cooked in every single cook and she deserves a break Alicia please bring up your dish [Music] so seared tuna and yoky with coffee garlic I could actually see every element of the classic tuna casserole dish but you transformed it into something that is so relevant looking I mean it looks like a modern version [Music] what's the crust on the tuna drizzled some of the coffee garlic oil on top it's fantastic this is an incredible fish maybe this is the turning point for you in this kitchen at this point I'm thinking that this could be a winning dish feather so I have a seared albacore tuna habanero cream sauce and a handmade pasta it's beautiful in visually stunning it's nice cook on tuna you kept it rare you have a nice sear on it pasta the consistency and the thickness very nice [Music] wow it's too hot can't get over that heat that is mistake you know from the outside you seem like a very almost arrogant but I think on the inside you're terrified I really feel that [Music] Wow damn that is hot Wow did you scotch bonnets I was under the assumption as a habanero so you don't know you use an admin arrow is also known as a scotch bonnet which happens to be one of the hottest peppers on planet earth and all I think about now is that pepper I don't really think about the tuna dish [Music] Aaron bring up your dish it's our tunas packet with celery root tortelloni with mint and pea veloute it's very sophisticated it's intelligent what is inside your tortelloni it's a celery root puree I tried to keep it simple I wanted to mimic the idea of the cream of celery soup you sound like a probe far from this half you've just created the best dish I've had in four seasons it's amazing it's extraordinary praise chef there's nothing wrong with it it's amazing that sauce it just pops with flavor your tortelloni are perfect perfectly cooked you can tell they're handmade what a shame it would be if you don't quit the job that you have now become a shot would be a real shame [Music]
