*~CONCH FRITTERS*~

4 fresh conchs, finely minced

1 green pepper, chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

1 egg, slightly beaten

1- ¾ cups all- purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

Dash of pepper & oil for deep-frying

Combine ground conch with chopped vegetables. Add egg. Mix flour, baking powder and
salt; add to conch mixture. Season to taste. Form into balls 1 to 2 inches in size. Heat oil
in a deep skillet to 375 degrees. To prevent cooling the oil too quickly, drop one fritter at
a time into the pan, waiting a few seconds before adding additional fritters. Fry 3 to 5
minutes until golden brown on all sides, turning the fritters as they rise to the surface.
Drain on paper towels. Serve with ‘Key Lime Mustard Sauce ‘.

*~ASSORTED VEGETABLE FRITTERS~*

1 small eggplant, sliced

1 zucchini cut in ¼- inch slices

1 small cauliflower, separated into flowerets

1 recipe Thin Fritter Batter with 1 or 2 tablespoons additional liquid, if needed

Cooking oil

Almond leaves (or other greens, optional)

Prepare eggplant by slicing into ¼- inch slices. To remove bitterness from this otherwise
delicious vegetable, lay slices onto a board and sprinkle the tops of each slice with salt.
Let stand for 30 minutes. When time is up, wipe off excess salt and soak slices in a bowl
of water for about 10 minutes. Remove eggplant from water, drain on paper towels; and
then dip in fritter batter, one piece at a time. Hear oil to 375 degrees. Using a slotted
spoon, drop several slices into hot oil and fry until browned on one side, then turn and
brown on other side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Place on ovenproof platter and
keep warm in low oven until other fritters are finished. Dip the remaining vegetables into
batter and fry as above. Serve on almond leaves with a favorite vegetable sauce.
