Poached Trout en Papillotte with Corn and Pea Shoots
Cesar: "I'm going to steam the fish in this little parchment paper parcel."
Later, Cesar ..."I'm cooking my fish in papillotte. Old school technique. Just kind of steams it all together. I think it's really nice, especially for fish."
Presenting to the Judges:: "It's corn-butter poached trout, grilled radicchio, and a sauce with corn and pea shoots.
Judges: "Cesar's dish. I really did enjoy all the flavors I was tasting. Wrapping the peach in the radicchio was, like, a nice touch. I love fish with fruits and citrus. Yeah, it was just a good balance. That was a great bite. Really good bite."
