Coconut Rice Pudding with Polish Coconut Biscuits, Sesame Brittle, Mango and Thai Green Curry Ice Cream
Antos's celebration of "the biggest nut of them all" — coconut: a coconut milk rice pudding topped with kokosanki (Polish coconut biscuits), coconut and sesame tuiles, and coconut liqueur compressed mango, served with a Thai green curry ice cream flavoured with peanuts.
Antos: "What's the biggest nut of them all? Coconut. So I'm celebrating coconut in many forms. So I'm doing a coconut rice pudding, coconut biscuits, a coconut and sesame brittle, coconut liqueur infused mango, and then the most exciting bit for me at least, a Thai green curry ice cream."
Antos: "The peanuts have gone in the curry paste to add a bit of crunch, bit of nuttiness from that Thai green curry ice cream. I really want them to feel like they're eating a Thai green curry. So getting that hit of coconut, but also chilli, lemongrass, galangal. I want that, but in a cold form."
Antos: "I went in knowing that the coconut biscuits were over for sure. But you know what? The rest of the dish was well received. I'm really proud of what I did."
Jimmy: "Antos, I think we can comfortably say you've not played it safe. You've got that thick, quite intense coconut milk rice pudding. And then we get to your Thai green curry peanut ice cream, which you weren't kidding. It really is Thai green curry and an ice cream. It's that jolt of coldness. It's creamy. There's heat flowing through it, and it kind of scrambles your brain. It's inventive, and I really do applaud you for that."
Grace: "I adore this thick, coconutty rice. And your peanut ice cream with shallot and garlic and a lot of Thai lemongrass and galangal — to me, it's delightful. It's so playful and ultimately really wonderful."
Anna: "Your sesame brittle is really good. It's a very difficult, technical sugar work to do, and I think you really nailed that. And those beautiful, succulent, juicy cubes of mango are stunning. You've got a lovely kind of rum hit off it. Your coconut biscuits are burnt. They're missing that delicious kind of sweet, slight chew."
