Cinnamon Beef, Egyptian Rice
Cinnamon-spiced braised beef shin with rosbergalta (an Egyptian rice dish with nuts and raisins), baba ganoush, a fattoush salad and homemade cumin flatbreads.
Naomi is a logistics consultant from Newcastle. Her husband is half-Egyptian and they go to Egypt every year to visit family.
Naomi: "My husband's half Egyptian. We go to Egypt every year to visit my husband's family, and I learn from his aunts. So I'm making braised beef in cinnamon and beef stock with baba ganoush and fattoush. Fattoush is a Lebanese salad, and I'm gonna do some cumin flatbreads on the side."
Anna: "Every time I see a cook getting a pressure cooker and putting beef shin in there, I worry."
Anna: "I'm just going to pull the plaster right off: your cinnamon beef is tough. However, lots to love. Earthy, smoky, fiery baba ganoush, and then I love this rice. It's very moist, it's very dense, it's very moreish."
Grace: "Your flatbreads, for me, needed a bit more cooking. You've represented the flavours that you wanted to shine, but I think your dish needs a bit of work."
Naomi did not win an apron in this round.
