"KONKY" CONCH FRITTERS

Start with all ingredients in place.

Pour 2 tablespoons of baking powder into a bowl with 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 1/2 diced onion, 1 stalk diced celery, 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper, 1 tablespoon thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon pepper sauce, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic.

Mix everything together with a fork.

Dilute 1 tablespoon of tomato paste with a splash of water and pour it in.

Add half of the 2 cups of water and continue to mix.

Pour in the remaining water and mix well.

Add 1/2 cup of ketchup and mix.

Fold in the cubed Queen conch meat.

Add 2 tablespoons of Raquel season salt and mix well.

Heat oil to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using a tablespoon, drop the batter into the hot oil, ensuring fritters are spaced apart.

Fry the fritters for about 3 minutes, flipping them to ensure they cook evenly and turn golden brown.

Remove fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
