Method

Turn the set panna cottas out onto plates and serve with the chilled soup and roasted watermelon.

Allow the syrup to cool, then stir in the mint, ground ginger, and blended watermelon before chilling in the fridge.

Heat the second portion of sugar with 100ml of water in a pan until dissolved.

Process the excess watermelon pieces in a blender until smooth.

Combine the double cream and the first portion of sugar in a saucepan.

Scrape vanilla seeds into the cream, add the pods, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Fry the 3cm watermelon cubes in a pan until they are colored on all sides.

Refrigerate the moulds until the panna cotta is completely set.

Squeeze water from the gelatine, whisk it into the hot cream until dissolved, and pour into six dariole moulds.
