I’m curious about your mojo. I’m cuban and we make mojo as well. Wondering what differences and similarities we may have.
Not gonna lie I also am naive to the culture significance of the dish but that is the most unappetizing thing I’ve seen in a while
Yes I would add play with colors. It’s very bland color wise. Think of the other ingredients and use those in colorful ways. I’m sure it tastes good but we eat with our eyes first. Good luck chef
Looks pretty mucky as far as plating…I’d like the apples set where I could control the tart with the fatty little pig tails. How fun tho. I love the mojo seasoning.
I like most aspects of your presentation, building elevation with the pig tails highlights the braise that you absolutely nailed. In this case, I would avoid going heavy with your sos pwa, as the large bed of sauce muddles the sharp greens your apple and tomatillo contribute to the contrast.
Offset and varying sizes of sos pwa, overlapped randomly by the paste would help to showcase your beautifully plated pig tails and salad, with a smaller pool of sos pwa underneath the tails.
Gorgeous plate either way, just my two cents. Well done, chef.
This would take some work to make presentable to western audiences I think. I’m sure it tastes great but the texture and colors are visually unappetizing to me personally.
I don’t want to trash this dish you probably poured your heart onto.
But, it looks like a couple bites of good food on a pile of shite.
This looks gross. You could try to use a smaller, deeper, darker plate and create some sort of layering to elevate this.
The plate is perfectly circular which highlights the unevenness of the food. I support what u/Professor_Snipe writes, which is that this sub is about plating not taste. To that end, I’d eat it whilst eyeballing the presentation with a disagreeable eye.
