Ingredients:

  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 jar (4 ounces) chopped pimientos, drained
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomaotes
  • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 ribs celery, with leaves, chopped
  • 1 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground conch meat
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 5 cups clam juice or seafood broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • a few dashes Tabasco sauce
  • salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, white and green parts

Preparation:

Cook diced bacon in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium heat until crisp and fat is rendered. Add onion, bell pepper, pimientos, tomatoes, garlic, celery, potatoes and parsley. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is transparent, about 7 to 9 minutes. Add the ground conch, wine, clam juice or broth, black pepper, Tabasco sauce and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, until potatoes have broken down, serving as a thickener for the chowder. Serve hot, garnished chopped green onions.
Makes 4 servings.
