What If.................

  Re: (...)
As I was commenting on the chefs/cooks having a hard time with their 'spur of the moment' very best dish for presentation, I got to thinking what I would have automatically have made.

Given we were all capable of working with the time restraints and all the other criteria, what dish(es) would you automatically go to?

Number 1 thought would be a roasted squab topping a root veggie puree, garnished with foie gras (hopefully legal again) and fennel shavings. and maybe marinated beets and pancetta.

I think for a vegetarian, I would do my Roasted Butternut Squash Penne al Burro making sure the squash dice was perfectly roasted with fried sage leaves and a drizzle of red pepper oil.

I would make a Cajun stuffed pork loin with cornbread dressing and green beans.
My vegitarian offering would be eggplant parmesan with pasta and a caprese salad.

Vegetarian is easy - just flew into my mind: Truffled Mac & Cheese and a "herb salad" with lemon olive oil dressing.

Spatchcocked herb roasted chicken with a celariac & yukon gold potato mash, and a mixed veggie saute.

It's just splitting the chicken down the back and splaying it out - especially for grilling. Watch enough of Masterchef Australia, Junior Masterchef Australia or [/i]Masterchef New Zeland[/i] and you'll hear the term quite a bit.

We might have Jean.

I love to spatchcock them, they cook so much faster in the oven or on the grill. I might have a picture somewhere.
