| Gelatin | 1 |
| Tomato juice | 1/3 |
| Fresh coriander leaves | 3 |
| Salt | 1 |

Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the cherry tomatoes. Cut off 1/4-inch from the blossom end (opposite stem end) of each tomato, and using a 1/4-teaspoon measure, carefully scoop out the seeds.
-
In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over vegetable-juice cocktail or tomato juice and let it stand for 1 minute to soften.
-
Heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring continuously, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the seeded and minced jalapeΓ±o along with all the remaining ingredients except for the tomatoes. Let the filling cool slightly.
-
Using a small spoon and holding each tomato over the saucepan, spoon the filling into the tomatoes, arranging them on a platter as you fill them.
-
Chill the filled tomatoes, covered, for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set, you can even leave them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to intensify the flavors.
-
Before serving, garnish each tomato with a fresh coriander leaf for an added burst of flavor and visual appeal.
