Sour Pickle Granita with Potato Chip Panna Cotta, Dill Oil & Potato Chip Tuiles
Beverly's 'evil' dessert built around her forbidden ingredient, pickles.
Beverly: "Pickles are great. I grew up on pickles. I grew up on kimchi. Every single day of my life, I had pickles in front of me. First thing I'm going to do is my evil dessert, and I'm going to make pickle granita right away — two pounds, with potato chip panna cotta. It's potatoes, pickles, and dill. Potato chips are a forbidden food in my family. My kids — they'll just eat the whole bag. They sneak it in, like, at school."
On presentation: "The evil is the sour pickle granita with potato chip panna cotta, dill oil, and potato chip tuiles dusted with dill powder. In my household, potato chips are forbidden — it's just bad for you. So that's why it's evil."
Padma Lakshmi: "When both these desserts came to our table, it was very easy to assume that the black sesame dessert was the evil. But I love that you flipped them."
Michael Cimarusti: "Are these actually fried potatoes? This is a tuile. Yeah — you need to put that in a bag and sell it."
Nina Métayer (guest): "I love it."
Padma Lakshmi: "You used your forbidden ingredient to great effect. I thought it was delicious. I love the crunch of the potato chips. The dill, sour pickles really came through."
Wylie Dufresne: "If there's anybody at this table that can appreciate bad ideas that really work out well, I'm your guy. It's fun. It's whimsical. This is just great stuff."
