Mussel Escabeche & German Potatoes
As seen on TV

Who made this dish?
Jack's signature: plump mussels in a fragrant escabeche pickle, served with German-style potatoes with bacon lardons and onions, and a pea puree. Inspired by childhood summers in Spain (a love of tinned fish) blended with the comforting potatoes he shared with a German best friend. He wanted the potatoes to keep a tender bite rather than crisping to crisps.
Judge: "I love your mussels with the escabeche - they are plump and they've got a great acidity to them. Your potatoes are crispy, very nicely cooked. Your lardons were a very clever addition."
Judge: "Pea puree looks the part. Great consistency overall. Good round, Jack." [Won a MasterChef apron.]
