Mexican Drunken Beans with Elote, Salsa, Avocado and Flatbread
Antos's Mexican-inspired brunch: cannellini beans flavoured with coriander, cumin and bacon, braised in cider and lime juice, topped with pickled shallots, parsley salsa and sliced avocado, served with corn elote (corn with mayonnaise and lime) and a flatbread.
Antos: "So I'm going to make drunken beans for you. So it's kind of Mexican inspired with a lot of cider, a lot of lime and a lot of spice with a few kind of exciting bits, a carb of some sort."
Antos: "I'm feeling good enough. It was mixed. There were definitely bits I knew I could have worked on and got a bit better, but in the grand scheme of things, one judge loved it. For today — team Grace."
Grace: "It's unlike anything I've eaten before, which always makes me ecstatic. Bearing in mind you took a jar of cannellini, shoved in some cider, some onion, and some bacon. I think that what you've created has got such depth. I think that what's elevated it further is this parsley salsa that you've got across the top. I like that you hit the brief. To me, I have seen these types of dishes being served in posh brunch places time and again. Now, I think that's a great plate of food."
Anna: "Your flatbreads are beautiful. There's a nice crunch to your sweet corn, and the pickled shallots are very good. But for me, I feel it has far too much cider in there, so the beans are far too sweet."
