On Sunday night the third elimination gala of Masterchef Argentina. The participants who had to compete to achieve their continuity in the reality show were Carlos, Rodolfo, Antonio, María Sol, Rodrigo, Juan Francisco, Juan Ignacio and Candelaria. And the members of the jury, Germán Martitegui, Damián Betular and Donato De Santisthey announced what the challenge of the night was going to be.
“Tonight’s test consists of making empanadas,” said Donato, implying that it was something simple. But Betular pointed out: “They are going to have to prepare 10 empanadas with two types of original filling and with two repulgues to differentiate them, as well as two sauces to accompany them. And they have to be fried.”
The competitors had 3 minutes to go to the market and 70 to make “the ten best empanadas of their lives”. Thus, after the chefs gave them some tips for the dough and pointed out certain conditions for preparing the filling, the participants got to work. And several complained that they did not get enough ingredients. However, the biggest drawback was achieving a recipe that the juries had never tried.
With the time over, it was time for the tasting. AND Wanda Narahost of the cycle, was calling each of the participants to present their dishes.
First to go was Rodrigo, who made tender chickpea empanadas and mozzarella empanadas with pecans. “The worst thing that could have happened to you is that they look very good,” was the only positive thing that Germán told him. Then it was Antonio’s turn, who made black humita empanadas and Asian chorizo empanadas. “The dough is correct, the filling doubtful,” said Betular. Carlos followed, who prepared pork empanadas with vegetables and cantimpalo empanadas with grill sausages. “The repulgue is not great and the dough is a bit rustic,” De Santis told him.
Right away Rodrigo came by, who made ricotta pies with bacon and pork pies with ginger. “All very funny until it stops being funny,” Martitegui warned him. Later, María Sol presented empanadas with blood sausage and pears and portobello empanadas. “The filling is very good, it’s like rapt,” said Damián. Then came Juan Francisco, who presented shrimp empanadas with paprika and portobello, spinach and bacon empanadas. “They are spectacular,” Donato congratulated him.
Then Candelaria brought her vegetable empanadas and meat empanadas with jalapeño and tomato. “The meat is hard as a stone,” Martitegui told him. And finally, Juan Ignacio presented his grouper empanadas and mushroom empanadas and provolone. “You made a red wine flavored empanada,” Betular told him. So, the jury went to deliberate to define the eliminated of the night.
The first saved was Juan Francisco, highly praised by the way. Candelaria, Nacho, Rodrigo, María Sol and Antonio also received the happy news that they would continue in the competition, although their empanadas were “forgettable”, according to Donato. Thus, the definition was between Rodolfo and Carlos. And who had to leave the kitchens of the cycle was the second. “I am happy for the experience. I laughed at everyone”said the visibly sensitized trucker
