This in from Teen Chefs:

“The level of talent displayed by all participating teams this year was incredible, students showed a real understanding of flavours and appreciation of fresh produce”, said Competition Director, Maria Efkarpidis.

The three top teams will now go on to participate in a Masterclass with local celebrity chef, Tom Moore of Knead Patisserie where he will teach the students a fourth dish which they must cook, along with their three course menu in the live cook-off to be held on Wednesday 12 September at Cooking Coordinates at Belconnen Fresh Food Markets.

My reading of it is the five vegetables are across the three required courses.

Regardless, bacon can be whatever it damn well chooses to be – fruit, vegetable, legume – it’s earned a place not only at the top of the food pyramid, but throughout it, as an honorary member of all food groups.

I may be a tad slow, but is bacon a vegetable? Because I can’t see any of the five vegetables required in the rules in that dish. There’s a tiny green garnish, but the rest looks rather fibre-free to my feeble, carrot-infested eyes.

I’d be interested in hearing what the filling is.
