Crab and Eggplant with Mushroom Conserva, Dukkah and Garlic Tahini
Chef Rasika (during preparation): "I'm wrapping my eggplant with crab in it. I was going to sear the crab and eggplant, but instead I'm going to put it in the sous vide bath, so it's perfectly cooked, and it looks good."
Chef Rasika, presenting to judges: "First thing I thought about is pairing ingredients that you don't usually pair together. So I made crab and eggplant with mushroom conserva, some dukkah and garlic tahini."
Judging
"I took my first bite, and I was like, did I just miss something?"
"There is no flavor. You missed the flavor whatsoever, which is wild when you look at it."
"She steamed the eggplant. It feels awful. It's also a bit slimy. It's slug like."
