Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 fresh or frozen Jamaican conch
Juice of 6 limes
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped plus sprigs for garnish
1 cup red, yellow and green peppers, diced
2 large hothouse tomatoes, peeled and diced
2 scallions, sliced
1 red onion, diced
1 chipotle chili, chopped
1 avocado, thinly sliced, for garnish
Sliced limes, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat grill. In a heavy bottomed pot cook conch in water for 1 hour or until tender. Strain through a colander and let cool slightly. Rub cooked conch with 2 tablespoons olive oil and grill for 8 minutes or until slightly charred on the outside and allow to cool again. Afterward, slice conch into paper thin slices and return to a metal or non-reactive bowl and add additional ingredients and mix thoroughly. Serve chilled with avocado, sliced limes and cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • Use fresh conch: Fresh conch is essential for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh conch, you can use frozen conch, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Clean the conch thoroughly: Conch can be gritty, so it's important to clean it thoroughly before using. To do this, rinse the conch under cold water and then scrub it with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the conch into small pieces: Conch can be tough, so it's best to cut it into small pieces before cooking. This will help it to cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Marinate the conch: Marinating the conch in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and other spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the conch properly: Conch can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to boil it. Be sure to cook the conch until it is tender, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the conch salad immediately: Conch salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will help to keep the conch from toughening up.

Conclusion:

Conch salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its unique flavor and texture, conch salad is a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
