What you do:

  1. To make the panna cotta, sprinkle the gelatine in a cup, just cover with cold water and leave to dissolve. Gently heat the cream and milk in a saucepan. When hot, whisk in the soaked gelatine, then whisk in the goat's cheese until the mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into 4 ramekin or dariole moulds. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, start the biscuits. Preheat the oven to 125⁰C. Place the potato purée in a bowl and add the flour and egg whites, mixing well to form a paste. Stir in the cashews. On a non-stick baking sheet, spread the biscuit mixture out with a palate knife to form 6 large teardrop shapes. Place in the oven and dry out the biscuits until they start to turn brown, around 20 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush each one with olive oil. Lift the biscuits from the baking sheet and set aside to cool over a couple of greased rolling pins.
  3. For the sweet-and-sour tomatoes, place the peeled tomatoes in a large pan along with the remaining ingredients, heat through over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the flavours infused. To serve, unmould the panna cottas and place one on each biscuit, spoon the tomatoes around and serve.
