This postcard from the Bahamas came with a traditional Bahamian recipe that is made with conch, the wonderful shellfish that is delicious but not so easy to find outside of the Bahamas:
2 Hot petters
1 1/2 Cups Flour
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1 1/2 Level tsp. Sale
3 tbs. Tomato Paste
4 Conch (skinned)
1 Sweet Pepper
2 Onions
2 Stalks Celery
2 1/2 – 3 Cups Water
Cooking OilGrind conch, onions, celery and peppers. Add to flower, baking powder, salt, tomato paste and water. Mix together. Drop teaspoonful of mixture into hot oil and deep fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
I’d love to try it one day! 🙂
