Preparation

Step 1
Combine the cucumber, green pepper, scallions, dill and garlic in a food processor and process until nearly a puree. A little texture is welcome. Stir in the vinegar.
Step 2
Soften the gelatin in one-quarter cup of the water in a metal measuring cup, place the cup in a pan of simmering water and cook gently until the gelatin has dissolved. Heat the remaining water in a saucepan, add the dissolved gelatin and cook just until the gelatin has dissolved in the water.
Step 3
Stir the gelatin mixture into the cucumber mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a two-cup mold or bowl or to individual half-cup molds, refrigerate and chill until set.
