AN OUTSTANDING CONCH FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1 Tbsp thyme 1 Tbsp parsley 1 Tbsp oregano 1 Tbsp celery seed 1 Tbsp habanero sauce (e.g. Melindas) 3/4 Tbsp salt (Not More! At least initially!) 1/2 Tbsp basil 1/2 Tbsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp black pepper.
• Pound conch with a rolling pin until it has flattened out (especially the thick and hard "foot"), then dice into small pieces.
• Mix in lime juice and tomato paste with conch in small bowl.
• In separate large bowl, dice pepper, onion and garlic. Mix in spices.
• Mix in conch mixture. Mix in flour, baking powder and eggs.
• The mixture should be fairly thick, if you take spoon of it and turn it upside down it should stick there for a few seconds.
• If too thin, add more flour.
• If too thick, add a little milk.
• You could also substitute a little beer for the milk if you like.rec Get a couple of plates with napkins or paper towels handy, as well as a tablespoon, a teaspoon, a fork, and a metal device for scooping stuff out of hot oil.
• Heat a pot of about 2 inches of cooking oil on medium heat. Stir after a few minutes.
• Oil should be ready after 7 or 8 minutes, don't heat too fast or oil and fritters will burn.
• Scoop up 1 tablespoon of fritter mixture, scrape it into oil with teaspoon.
• Let cook for about 2 minutes, then roll it over with fork (they float) and let cook on other side for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Scoop out with scooper and let drain on napkin plate. Let cool a bit and then taste. Carefully adjust seasonings in remainder of batter to taste. Repeat this procedure of making one fritter until you have the spices just right. The recipe may seem like a lot of spices, but they lose their strength when mixed with all that stuff and cooked.
• Serve with lemon or lime wedges, some more habenero sauce, and plenty of cold beverages.
• And be careful with that hot oil. Excessive alcohol consumption and playing around with hot oil definitely do NOT mix.
• Enjoy! PS: If you don't want to make these fritters but you are in Florida, the best that I HAVE found in a re staurant are at the Calpyso Restaurant and Raw Bar in Pompano.

CONCH FRITTERS WITH CARIBBEAN DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• FRITTERS: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine the ground conch, green and red peppers, onions and garlic, making sure the conch is well distributed. Add the conch mixture to the flour mixture. Without cleaning the conch bowl, use it to whisk together the milk, egg, lime juice, and Tabasco. Add to the conch mixture, stirring until everything is well mixed. Cover and refrigerate up to an hour so the batter firms a bit. When ready to finish, heat about 1/4-inch oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place about a heaping tablespoon conch batter for each fritter carefully into the skillet, without crowding. This may have to be done in batches. Press down very lightly on each portion of batter to flatten. The fritters will spread slightly. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side or until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain. You may want to keep the fritters warm in a 200°F oven while you cook all the batter to keep them warm, but this is optional. To serve, place six fritters on each of four warm dishes. Place about 6 tablespoons dipping sauce in four small bowls. Serve one with each serving. CARIBBEAN DIPPING SAUCE: In a blender, puree the salsa. Place in a nonreactive bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk well. Cover and refrigerate several hours. Stir before serving. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

• Heat up about two inches of oil in a stockpot. It's ready when it bubbles up around the non-stirring end of a wooden spoon.
• Scoop up some of the fritter batter and flatten it out into the spoon. The fritters need be a little thin because you don't want them to end up burned on the outside and raw in the middle. These aren't sushi fritters.

• When they are a nice golden color on both sides take them out and drain them on a paper towel. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.
