Butternut Squash with Wild Rice
Soo: "I took inspiration from Elena's breakfast that she cooked for her kids. Roasted butternut squash, huitlacoche puree and wild rice gnocchi."
Gail Simmons: "Are you sure you want to call this gnocchi?"
Soo: "Wild rice dumplings."
Judges - conversation upon tasting
"I'm actually really enjoying it. I like the brightness that little bit of huckleberry sauce is bringing, and I like the huitlacoche. It's a very intimidating ingredient."
"I can tell you this wild rice came from my reservation. This reminded me of home. There was a beautiful simplicity to what Soo made. As long as he just dropped the word gnocchi, it all made sense."
