We get out of the freezer and the crumble mixture of with a fork, mixing with another liquid part. Repeat the process several times, until the mixture turns into mixture of of small ice crystals. At the end add dry tomato powder and mix again. Harvesting in the freezer to feed. 

 Now prepare shortbread:The oven heats up to 180 ° C
For the dough, mix the flour in the bowl of a blender, softened butter, grated parmesan, salt and white pepper. The resulting dough knead hands, roll into a ball and a little cool in the refrigerator. 

Chilled dough is rolled into a formation 5 mm thick and cut circles out of it 8 7cm diameter. We put the circles on a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. In circles with a knife cut off the lower part (primerno5mm) that then we can put the cookies on the plate, and they do not fall. We all cut the same way that the resulting mug with clipping planes formed later the same cookie. The remaining dough can be rolled freely. 

Cherry cut very thinly and spread on 3 slice each cookie slightly pushing each slice, so it is good full sun. Bake 10 - 15 minutes in the oven until golden brown. (Biscuits in the oven may begin to rise, if you notice it, then just open the oven and press the risen dough spatula). Take out of the oven and give cool.

Taste the finished sauce can adjust with salt, paprika and white balsamic vinegar. The sauce is poured into a special bottle with a tapered tip. 

 Prepare pre-perforated chips:To begin with heats the pan with a little oil to near maximum (pan must be a non-stick coating). Mix in a bowl of a blender all ingredients and pour into the pan, subtracting the temperature to slightly below average. Fry until the mass of our state chips. Remove the scapula, when it is fully cured.

 Phew, it was the final stage - the filling of goat cheese. But everything is quite simple:Beat in a blender the fresh goat cheese, honey, rosemary leaves and olive oil. Spread on a cookie stuffing thickness of about 1cm. Close 2nd cookies. Repeat this procedure for each cookie.

 Well that's all we have done! We proceed to the decoration:Sincerely yours, my friend, I advise you start to decorate the plate during breaks between meals preparation constituents, not to spend too much time then.For today's dish, I chose a long white plate with small beads, but you can of course take any other. Suit any large white plates without pronounced sides. 

 We begin with the drawing. To do this, cut the sheet of foil, put it on a plate, and mentally represents the size of the picture to another beneath it climbed cookies. Cut the rectangle of the desired size, spread it, adhering to the sides of the plates on the top and on the right. Take a bottle with pesto sauce and encircle the edge of our sheet of foil, then turned to frame. Carefully remove the paper.

 Now we plant basil sauce gel to a liquid state by mixing it with water in a separate small tank. We need consistency, which will be able to flow freely from a spoon for decoration, but do not overdo it too difficult to draw a liquid sauce. 

 A small digression: a blurred image with the gradient obtained at the expense arising from the pesto olive oil is obtained as if drawing on wet. Unfortunately, without a spoon for decoration like pattern repeat it will be very difficult, but you can use the small bottles, similar to a container of eye drops.

 Pour into a spoon for decoration diluted basil sauce and draw some big leaves with distinct veins, fill the rest of the space smaller and thinner leaves. We follow the model in the picture.

 Next exhibit vertically our four cookies, entering half of their base in the drawing. In the lower left corner of the bottles with the help of sauce or a medical syringe without a needle put 6 large volume drops of tomato sauce - gel at an equal distance from each other. Above them, a little climbing on the drawing, spread through the cooking ring granite tomato, previously dividing it with a fork. On top lay a broken granite in the shape of a circle perforated chips, speaking a little to the left beyond the edge of the granite.

 Actually, that's all we have done! Enjoy your creations and great Italian flavor of this dish. Enjoy your meal!
