I got this from a lady who was a native of the island of Abaco in the Bahamas, she was the best cook on the island. It is better after it sits for a day or so. I use low fat mayo, but it’s really good with the real deal. I’m unsure of how much this actually makes, so the serving number is just a guess, but it makes alot.
Probably the most popular recipe in the Bahamian/Caribbean cuisine. Fresh Conch isn’t always easy to find, and it has to be fresh. Be careful to keep it refrigerated and use as soon as possible.
Conchs are quite popular in South Florida, as most there come from the Bahamas, were they are plentiful. If you cannot get frozen conchs, chopped clams may be substituted. If using chopped clams, add them at the last moment to keep them tender. The chowder is chunky, spicy, and robust with flavor – goes great with toasted bread rounds. Found recipe in, “The Whole Foods Market Cookbook.”
A rich delicious recipe with lots of flavor and a little spicy Kick. A baked Macaroni like none you’ve had before. My husband is famous for this macaroni. Its a bit of work but worth it.
I do not like beans in any way, shape or form. That said, my fiancee found it very amusing when I ate this dish every day for lunch during our vacation in the Bahamas. It wasn’t until we returned that he let me know these ‘peas’ were actually beans!!
