👨🍳 Інструкції

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and diced bell pepper until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the ground achiote and cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the aromatics in the spices.

Add the tenderized conch meat to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Pour in the coconut milk and water (or fish stock). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the sliced green plantains and cubed potatoes. Stir gently to ensure they are submerged in the liquid.

If using, add the chopped hot pepper. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the plantains and potatoes are tender.

Stir in the lime juice and most of the chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, letting all the flavors blend.

Remove the hot pepper (if used) before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a mix of conch, plantains, and potatoes. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve hot.
