How To Cook Lambi ( Stew Conch) | Episode 60

Start with fresh conch that has been washed and cleaned.

In a pressure cooker, add the conch and 2 tablespoons of mahian spice.

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the conch and mix well for color.

Do not add salt yet, as it will toughen the conch.

Add enough water to cover the conch, but not too much, so it can still be seen.

Cook on medium-high heat for about 1 hour.

After 20 minutes of boiling, reduce the heat to prevent burning at the bottom of the pot.

After an hour, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot and stir.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 1.5 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, then sauté for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat.

Add more water if needed for gravy, then add shrimp (optional) with shells on for flavor.

Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until the shrimp is cooked.

Garnish with sliced onions before serving.
