Chopped Season 17 Episode 7 Liver and Learn

In season 17 episode 7 of Chopped, titled "Liver and Learn," four chefs are put to the test as they compete against each other in three timed rounds of intense cooking challenges, all with the goal of impressing the judges and winning a cash prize. The twist of this episode is that liver must be incorporated into each dish.

The first round, appetizers, proves to be difficult as the chefs are presented with ingredients such as wasabi, shiso leaves and blood oranges along with the mandatory liver. The chefs scramble to create unique and tasty dishes within the 20-minute time limit. One chef forgets to add the liver to their dish and is at risk of being chopped from the competition.

Moving into the second round, the chefs are given 30 minutes to create a stunning entrée dish using ingredients such as goat cheese, fiddlehead ferns, and sea urchin, along with, once again, liver. One chef tries to impress the judges by making a bold decision to showcase the liver as the main component of the dish, while another chooses to incorporate it in a more subtle way.

In the final round, the remaining two chefs are tasked with creating a delectable dessert using cactus pears, whole wheat flour, and, of course, liver. Creativity is key as the chefs push themselves to create a unique and delicious dessert within the 30-minute time limit. The judges are blown away by the creativity and skill of the chefs as they present their final dishes.

Throughout the episode, the chefs face several obstacles, such as working with unfamiliar ingredients and dealing with time constraints. The judges, with their trained palates, are tough critics and expect perfection in taste, presentation, and execution from each of the dishes presented.

As the chefs progress through the rounds, one by one they are chopped until only one remains and is named the champion. Who will make the best use of the liver and be crowned the winner of this intense culinary competition? Tune in to find out on Chopped, season 17, episode 7, "Liver and Learn."
