Who made this dish?
Pan-roasted Iberico pork with romesco sauce, a manchego cheese croquette, charred fennel, pork jus and a chive oil.
Jim is a music producer who, over his 20-year career, has worked with artists including Donny Osmond and Geri Halliwell. The dish is dedicated to his wife Esther, who pushed him to apply.
Jim: "This is my wife's favourite dish. Anytime that we don't know what's for dinner, she goes, can we have romesco sauce?"
Anna: "Iberico is a type of pork that has been fed a specific diet of acorns. So it's extremely tender. The marbling in it is excellent. And you should serve it pink."
Grace: "Romesco sauce, smoky paprika and tomato, onion, red pepper, and a lot of chopped almonds. When you blitz them together, you make a delicious, vibrant pecan sauce."
Anna: "Jim, your iberico pork is amazing. It's so tender. Your croquette: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, an absolute perfect example of somebody who has passion and skills. Well done."
Grace: "You said your wife asks for this romesco. I can tell why. Smoky paprika, toasted almonds. Fabulous." Jim won an apron.
