  1. Make a salad with the crayfish, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and homemade mayonnaise. Set aside a few crayfish for garnish.

  3. Strain this and bring it back to a boil with marjoram and mushrooms. Season with a little salt.
  4. Make a citrus gel by boiling 200 grams of sugar and 2 deciliters of water with 2 deciliters of lemon juice. Let this simmer for 4 minutes with 5 grams of agar agar. Let cool and put in a piping bag.
  5. Cut paper-thin slices of radish and place them in a bowl of ice water.
  6. Blend the tomatoes in a food processor and strain through a sieve. Bring 3 deciliters of the tomato juice to a boil and add 2 grams of agar agar. Let this simmer for 2 minutes, then add the soaked gelatin. Pour onto a tray and let cool. Once cooled, cut out into the desired shape.
  7. Place the salad in the center of the plate and cover with the tomato jelly.
  8. Pipe some dots of citrus gel and distribute the crayfish and radish over it.
  9. Heat the jus, add the cream, froth it up, and add this to the plate.
