Directions

Preparation:
First, remove conch from shell, by breaking the bottom of the shell. Remove the outer skin, and rinse with white vinegar and water.
Second, strip, wash and dice vegetables, then divide into two separate containers, we will call, “seasoning container #1 and seasoning container #2”. Divide the herbs as well. Dice the pumpkin, peel yam near using. Prepare flour dumplings by add ingredients, and then roll dumpling spinners. Put aside for later.
3. Dice conch’s meat in fine bite-able chunks.
Put pressure cooker on stove with 6 cups of water; add diced conch’s meat, and seasoning container #1. Allow stalling for 30 to 45 minutes; it is best at 45 minutes.
Alternatively, stall conch’s meat in enough water using a big pot for an hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Put the stove’s gauge on medium/high. (If you are doing it this way beat with hammer first. You do this to tenderize the conch’s meat; making conch’s meat neither rubbery nor tough). Tenderize well first! Use fork test meat. When finish you will have good conch’s stock.
