• 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped

How to make Green Gazpacho Shots

1. Blend the lime juice, vinegar, oil, coriander leaves, and cumin in the small bowl with a wooden spoon.

2. Place the courgette, tomatillos, pepper, cucumber, onion, and green tomatoes in batches in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process, adding the lime juice mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, to prevent the blade from being clogged with the vegetables. The soup should have a crunchy texture; do not puree the vegetables. Pour the soup into the large bowl as each batch is processed.

3. When all the vegetables have been processed, add just enough vegetable broth to give the gazpacho a smoother consistency. Season the soup with the Tabasco sauce and salt to taste.

4. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours before serving.

Fill the shot glasses three-quarters full with the gazpacho. Top each glass with a dollop of soured cream. Arrange the glasses on a large tray, with the bunch of coriander in the centre. Guests can help themselves.
