Gazpacho Shooters Recipe

	Californiacook / All my dishes 3 months, 1 week ago I watched Robert Irvine's Dinner Impossible, & thought these 'shooters' were a classy & clever idea. The cukes are cut about 2" tall, hollowed out about 2/3 of the way down, & the gazpacho is poured in. You drink the gazpacho & eat the cuke 'shooter' .... More Prep:30m Servings:6	Californiac

Ingredients

2 English cucumbers -- peeled (1 whole and 1 finely diced)

3 tomatoes -- seeded and finely diced

1 red onion -- finely diced

1 green bell pepper -- finely diced

1 red bell pepper -- finely diced

1 clove garlic -- minced, or more to taste

4 cups V-8 vegetable juice -- or tomato juice

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

Cut the whole peeled cucumber into 1 1/2-2" long pieces. Stand them upright and trim the bottom so they are level and won't fall over. Using a spoon or a melon baller, remove the inside seeds and pulp 2/3 of the way into the cucumber, forming a "shooter" glass. Put in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

In a large bowl combine all the remaining ingredients, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This will give the soup time to meld all the flavors together and let the juices from the vegetables mix.

When ready to serve, spoon the soup into the cucumber shooter glasses and serve. Let your guests enjoy the soup, then eat the "so called shooter glass".

Start to Finish Time: 4:30

A couple of ideas: Rather than peel the cuke, I like a striped look. Use a veggie peeler or tines of a fork. I added some vodka to the tomato juice/mixture for a little kick ;-)

Great idea. I think that the striped look would be very pretty. Five forks.
