Ingredients
- 1 lb conch
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 yellow scotch bonnet pepper (if you do not want it spicy, remove seeds)

Directions
- Soak conch in water with a few sprinkles of meat tenderizer, and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme over night, or for at least an hour.
- The next night, drain and cut conch into fine pieces with knife or process in food processor. Cut vegetables in small dice and sauté with a little olive oil.
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together and allow to sit for at least an hour to allow flavors to develop.
- Fry in peanut oil at 350 degrees or medium high heat until done. (Before frying I season my oil by sautéing onions, bay leaves, peppercorns, scotch bonnet peppers in the oil.)
