Pork Kotlet & Beetroot Ketchup
Schabowy (Polish breaded pork cutlet) with caraway matchstick fries, beetroot and blackcurrant ketchup, beetroot/asparagus salad and a beetroot, caraway and white wine jus.
Antos: "My signature dish is a play on the Polish classic Kabbalah, which is breaded pork cutlet, kind of like a Polish version of a schnitzel. And I'm serving that with caraway matchstick fries, a beetroot and blackcurrant ketchup, also a beetroot, caraway and white wine jus."
Antos: "I'm really close to my grandma. She's 91 now and still rides her bike around town. She got hit by a bus a couple of years ago and the bus was left with more damage than her. So we think she's immortal."
Antos: "My grandparents all came over from Poland after the Second World War and I kind of went to Polish Saturday school to maintain my heritage. I did Polish folk dancing. I performed to a packed out Royal Albert Hall to celebrate 100 years of Polish independence."
Antos: "I really wish I could have delivered this dish in the way it deserves to be cooked and have cooked it at home. But, hey, onwards and upwards."
Anna (during cook): "What's really tricky when you breadcrumb meat is that you actually can't really tell if it's cooked or not until you carve it."
Grace (during cook): "This dish has a lot of caraway. I love caraway. It's a sweet herby seed that you toast. It brings a rich depth."
Grace (tasting): "For me, the pork feels over. It's a bit tough, but your caraway fries, they've got real punch. I love your beetroot and blackcurrant ketchup. It's fruity but earthy, so not a disaster."
Anna (tasting): "The breadcrumb on top of your pork cutlet is very nice, but there's very little flavor from your sauce. It's the colour of beetroot, but I'm not getting a huge flavor of that."
