READ NOWHead chef Fernando Sanchez said the dish was something he’s been creating since he worked in London restaurant Moro for three years.
“I am very excited and grateful that one of my dishes has been nominated and be able to participate with other extraordinary dishes in this competition of Australian Eggs,” he said.
With his Spanish background and having lived in India for a year before moving to Perth, Mr Sanchez said he was inspired by hot spices and mixing ingredients together to create his dishes.
“It’s fresh and spicy at the same time and I think it’s interesting with the runny, silky yolk and sweet taste from the herbs and cucumber,” he said.
