Are you in double figures yet?” Meanwhile, Kian proceeds to make the dish. Gordon notes “That’s a nice sear” when the meat is cooked. Kian is seen chopping different ingredients, including garlic cloves, onions, etc. “Those knife skills are great!” Gordon exclaims. As the prep continues, Gordon says, “Looking good. This is the start of something unique. Smart choice in pans as well, young man.” Kian proceeds to prepare the various elements of the dish. “Formidable. Dude, you’re on it, seriously,” Gordon says. “Forget MasterChef Junior, why don’t you go straight to MasterChef adults?” he asks.
Next, the young cook makes a savoury crepe, which too Gordon praises. He assembles various elements of the dish, rolling the crepe along with the meat and stuffing. “Lovely colour going on there,” Gordon says. Finally, Kian added the covering of puff pastry dough.
