Lamb Tartare with Date and Shallot Puree
Cesar: "I got the date squares. I love working with dates. The inspiration is Moroccan. I'm going to add a lot of love. This are some warm spices for my tartare. Massimo and I pretty much have the same idea. Moroccan flavors, pairing lamb with date, serving it cold. I just want it to be better than Massimo's at this point!"
Presenting to the Judges
Cesar: "So I got date squares. We have a lamb tartare with a date and shallot puree, as well as a roasted carrot puree, and then the bunuelo on top with some pickled carrots."
Judges
"I just really enjoy the texture of Cesar's tartare."
"Just for me, a little bit too much heat."
"It was sort of the first thing we've had that actually incorporated a bit of a sweetness to it that sort of hearkens to a dessert. I loved it."
"After trying this, I think I'm just a big Cesar fan."
