1 small green pepper, cored de-seeded and diced
2 tomatoes, skinned, de-seeded and diced

  1. Place the breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. Pour over the oil and vinegar. Leave to soak for 15-20 min.

  2. Place the prepared vegetables in a food processor or blender with the tomato puree and half the water. Puree until smooth. With the motor still running, gradually add the remaining water.
