- Slowly emulsify the mixture with the parsley oil.
- Season further with salt and sushi-su if desired and transfer to piping bags.
- Season the crème fraîche with salt.
- Cold smoke the crème fraîche for 6 minutes.
- Cut the eggplant to the desired size and grill or fry it.
- Draw lines of the parsley emulsion over the top.
- Sprinkle with the BBQ crumble.
- Pipe dots of the smoked crème fraîche.
- Pour the tomato water around and let a few drops of parsley oil fall in.
- Finish the eggplant with paprika drops and cress of your choice.
