Yassa Onion Puree (Incomplete)

Yassa Onion Puree (Incomplete - Chicken Galantine with Crab Not Plated)

{Nana}: "I have yassa onion puree. My chicken galantine that was stuffed with crab didn't make it on the plate. Everything is done - it's just downstairs." During prep: "I got my saffron fonio. I've got my green crab mix, and then turmeric for my onions. I'm having a tough time rolling the chicken galantine. I'm gonna seal them all up and fix them tomorrow." On service day: "My chicken is still raw. I take the chicken out because I want to sear them and baste them in butter." At the bell: "I only have the yassa on the plate." Context: Nana had returned from urgent care with a shoulder injury on prep night and competed wearing a sling.

Judges: "It's really hard to say anything about Nana's dish. It is so incomplete that you can't even give it any kind of critique. She's not locking in to where she needs to be." Tom: "The brief was two naturally dyed elements, and she only gave us the one." Padma: "Nana, please pack your knives and go. You didn't complete a dish and you really only gave us one element of the two that was required. You have Last Chance Kitchen."
