👨‍🍳 作り方

1
If conch is not pre-tenderized, pound it with a meat mallet until tender. Wash thoroughly with lime juice and rinse to remove slime. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
2
In a large pot, combine the conch pieces with chopped onion, minced garlic, pimento peppers (if using), thyme sprigs, green seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add enough water to cover the conch by about 2 inches.
3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the conch is very tender. Add more water if needed to maintain a soupy consistency.
4
Add the chopped carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
5
Add the sliced okra (if using) and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
6
If using dumplings, drop them into the simmering soup and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float and are cooked through.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8
Ladle the Lambie Waters into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
