MasterChef at Home: How To Make Amir Manoly’s Flat Bread

If you’ve been following this MasterChef season at home, you’ll know that Amir Manoly was the most recent contestant to pack his apron and head home.

Tuesday night’s elimination challenge took place at Alla Wolf-Tasker’s Dairy Flat Farm in Daylesford where contestants were asked to pull together a vegetarian dish using ingredients found in Alla’s garden and a selection of other local ingredients.

Unfortunately, Manoly’s beetroot kebabs saw his experience in the competition come to an end.

Speaking with 10 Play about the experience, Manoly said:

“At the end of the day, it’s really anyone’s game. It’s the pointy end of the competition, everybody’s great but the guys I was up against are all amazing cooks.”

“It’s just what MasterChef is. You’ve got 24 of these amazing cooks that have to cook to save their spot in the competition day-after-day, so someone’s got to go home at the end of the day,” he shared.

On leaving the competition, we were lucky enough to grab a well-loved recipe from Manoly, who shared his quick and easy take on flatbread with us.
