Make the tomato broth the day
before. Put the tomatoes and 1/2 tbsp flaky salt in a food
processor and blitz to a pulp. Pour into a colander lined
with a muslin cloth set over a bowl to catch the juices.
Fold the cloth over the pulp and put a weight on top to
help squeeze out the juices. Put in teh fridge overnight
to strain. Take the broth out of the fridge 1 hr before
serving to bring to room temperature.

The next day, toss the mixed
tomatoes in a roasting tin with 1/2 tbsp flaky salt and
the oil, then spread them out and leave for 1hr.

Next, put the wine, rosemary,
shallot, stock and a good pinch of salt ina saucepan.
Bring to a simmer, drop in the fish and reduce teh heat so
teh liquid is just bubbling. Gently poach for 8-10 mins,
then remove. Freeze the poaching liquid and use as stock
at a later date.

Spoon the mixed tomatoes with
their oil, the spring onions and broad beans into stwo
