Alex on MasterChef: The Professionals
The chef had quite the effect on the MasterChef: The Professionals judges.
He was asked to butcher a chicken, debone the thighs and cook them with asparagus and a brandy, mushroom and mustard cream sauce, in 20 mins.
In the second test, where Alex made his own dishes, he made steamed brill, stuffed with a black trompette and scallop mousse, topped with a crispy potato and served with a burnt onion puree, baby pickled onions, asparagus and sea herbs, finished with a chicken sauce and onion oil.
For dessert, he made a strawberry pavlova dome with strawberry powder. Inside was a strawberry compote, yuzu curd and whipped clotted cream.
The judges were pleased with Alex’s cooking skills, and chose him to be put through to the quarter finals!
