Tuwo Gregiri (Pan Seared Lamb Chops)
"Hi. My name is Fatima. My food is inspired by my background. I was born in Nigeria. This is a traditional dish, Tuwo Gregiri. It's made out of lamb chops, fragrant jasmine rice and black eyed pea sauce."
Judges
"I'm a big fan of Nigerian cuisine, but I love this giant twist, the modernization of it, because I think you've gone all posh. It does look like a good sear on the lamb. I'm excited to dig in."
"Do we have a temperature on the lamb?"
Fatima: "Medium rare."
"Man, that's great."
"That's a good medium rare."
"Fatima, you've nailed the lamb. It's so beautiful. Rice just needs seasoning. Even a touch of heat in there. A whole chili or something. Just to perfume it. Yeah. I think there's so much more to come from you."
"Problem with Gen Z is that we often focus too much on the visuals. I think what you've done here instead, actually, is focus on the flavor."
"The flavor, exactly."
"And you've nailed the flavor."
"It was delicious."
