Method: To prepare the fresh tomato sauce: Cook the tomatoes for two minutes in boiling water. Peel and cut each tomato into four and remove the seeds. Blend the pulp with some of the seeds. Pass them through a fine sieve and emulsify with an immersion blender. Season the fresh herbs with basil oil and salt. Cut the slices of bread into four, remove the crust, and toast the bread. Dish up: With a tablespoon, distribute the tomato sauce on the plate. Place the bread on top and add the raw langoustine (if you prefer, you can steam the langoustine for one minute). Decorate with fresh herbs. Season and serve.
