Instructions

  1. Clean the conch and remove the dark skin and tough parts, then cut the meat into very thin strips or small dice.
  2. Rinse the meat quickly under cold water, then drain it well.
  3. In a bowl, mix the conch with the onion, bell pepper and chili.
  4. Add the tomatoes, parsley and thyme, then pour over the lime juice.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, mix, and let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes so the lime tenderises the flesh.
  6. Adjust the seasoning and serve well chilled with crackers.

Variations and tips

Milder version. Replace the Scotch bonnet with a sweet pepper and add a little cucumber for freshness.
