Rose Water Tomatoes with Goats Cheese

This is my current choice for vegetarian canapes, the slow cooked tomatoes are rich and the rose water adds an extra flavour dimension.

* 1 packet of shop bought Crostini (bite size) - my favourite is one from Waitrose with chilli oil, alternaitively you could make your own by slicing up french bread, dousing it in oil and grilling in the oven.
* 1 large punnet of Cherry Tomatoes
* 1/2 a teaspoon of Rose Water
* Handful of chopped Oregano
* 1 generous tablespoon of Olive Oil
* 1 tub of Creamed Goats Cheese (about 150g)

- Place oil in a frying pan on medium heat and once warmed add the whole tomatoes, oregano and rose water and mix till all ingredients are coated in oil.
- Leave to cook for about 30mins till tomatoes are disolved and juices reduced, you will need to stir and check occasionally to stop tomatoes from burning - reduce the heat if nescesary.
- Generously cover the tops of Crostini in Goats Cheese (easily done with a bread and butter knife).
- Place a dollop of the tomato misture on top.
- Serve!
NOTE: Tomato mixture can be made up to week before hand, it keep like a fresh relish and is also yummy on it's own or with bacon and avocado!!
