👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the conch: If using fresh conch, tenderize it by pounding with a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thickness. Finely mince the conch meat to about 1/4 inch dice. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor a few times to break it down further.
2
In a food processor, combine the minced conch, scotch bonnet pepper, minced onion, chopped celery, minced green bell pepper, and minced red bell pepper. Pulse until finely chopped.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the conch and vegetable mixture with the eggs and fresh thyme. Stir to combine.
4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
5
Add the dry ingredients to the conch and vegetable mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
6
Stir in the club soda and beer until you have a thick, unctuous batter.
7
Heat the peanut oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°-375°F (175°-190°C).
8
Using a 1.5 tablespoon scoop, carefully drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
9
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
10
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
