Carolina Ruby Sweet Potato Moqueca with Green Papaya and Chow Chow
Sweet potato variety drawn: Carolina Ruby.
{Sherry}: "I made the Carolina Ruby moqueca, a traditional dish in Brazil typically made with fish. I replaced all the protein with the sweet potato and then a green papaya. Chow chow."
During cooking: {Sherry}: "Grew up in Brazil, baby. I don't sweat, I glow."
Context from transcript: The Carolina Ruby was described as having beautiful natural sweetness.
SAFE (middle position) in the Carolina Ruby round. Sean Brock voted for Sherry as his favourite: "The lime leaves, the lemongrass, they're like fireworks." Kristen Kish confirmed: "It was very close between Sherry and Jonathan." Sherry was declared safe and not up for elimination.
