Master Chef - Mystery Box

The mystery ingredients for the next Global Gobbler menu - Master Chef style...

E
Potato (Potato, a mans vegetable - as George Calombaris would say*)

S
Brussel sprouts (Brussel sprouts, from Brussels - GC)

M
Chicken (Cluck cluck - GC)

D
Figs (Figs worked for Adam right? - GC)

*When we were doing the challenge, GC introduced our mystery ingredients with a byline as i've done above. The apple introduction was a laugh, valid point though, apples are "yummy"...

What to create from these mystery ingredients...

I'll have the timer going, the cameras focused and the host smiling, I might even try chopping onions again, without the blood loss sustained in the Master Chef studio...

Will I make it through to the next round or have to tearfully face the cameras and go home with a big fail??
