GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients, except the oil, pea shoots and ice cubes, into a food processor with a good pinch of salt and pepper and blitz, adding enough water to get a soupy consistency. Taste, and add a little more vinegar and seasoning if necessary. Chill for up to 24 hrs, or at least 2 hrs.

GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Roast the poblano pepper directly over a gas burner, turning, until charred all over. (Alternatively, broil the pepper.) Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly and then peel, seed and chop. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
• Put the mint, cucumbers, lemon juice, oil and garlic mixture and chopped poblano in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Ladle the gazpacho into 4 small bowls and top evenly with the tomato, chives and crab or shrimp. Drizzle with oil.

GREEN GRAPE GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, split the vanilla bean down the center and place in small saucepot with the orange and grapefruit juice. Bring to a boil, then transfer to a bowl and chill.
• Combine and puree the cucumbers, garlic and almonds with the white grape juice, honey, a generous pinch of salt and about 1/2 cup cold water in a blender. Blend in the red wine vinegar and about 3 cups of the grapes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate until ice cold, about 2 hours.
• Serve: Slice the remaining cup grapes in half. Stir the orange and grapefruit juice into the gazpacho. Serve gazpacho garnished with the remaining grapes and drizzled with the olive oil.

CREAMY GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Reserve one-quarter of the tomato, two cucumber chunks, two avocado chunks, and one basil leaf. Combine and finely chop for garnish.
• Stem and seed the jalapeño half and reserve the seeds. Cut the jalapeño into several pieces. Combine one or two pieces of the jalapeño with the remaining tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and the watercress or spinach, celery, garlic, red wine vinegar, honey, and ice cubes in a blender or the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth. Add 1/4 cup or more water to thin the mixture, if necessary.
• Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if needed. If you want the soup spicier, add more of the jalapeño, a little at a time, as well as some of the seeds if desired, blending and tasting after each addition. Refrigerate until cold, then pour into a bowl and top with the reserved chopped tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and a drizzle of olive oil, and eat.

• In a large bowl, blend marinated vegetables, avocado, chives, cilantro, parsley, scallions and tomato liquid until smooth. Taste for salt, pepper and vinegar, adding more as needed. Serve very cold.
