To make the mint oil, blanch the mint, then plunge into ice water, dry and crush with the olive oil.
Cut up the tomatoes and put into a bowl with the breadcrumbs (it’s best to do this the day before, so that the bread softens and soaks up all the flavour). Blend to make a thin paste and then add salt, pepper and olive oil. Strain through a chinois to remove any skin and seeds. Chill well.
Add a little mint oil before serving.
