COCONUT CONCH CHOWDER

A creamy chowder that came about on Super Bowl Sunday when I was digging in the freezer for chicken wings and came upon a pound of frozen conch. Very colorful. I used a mango pepper sauce.

Ingredients

1 pound conch meat
¼ cup margarine, divided
2 green onions, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
½ cup fresh corn kernels
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups fish stock
1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ teaspoons hot sauce

Steps:

Place conch meat in a pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes. Drain, and finely chop in a food processor.
Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in a skillet over medium heat, and mix in the green onions, carrot, celery, sweet potato, red pepper, and corn. Cook and stir 5 minutes.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons margarine in a large pot, and whisk in the flour to create a roux. Pour in the half and half, coconut milk, and fish stock.

Tips:

To make sure your cupcakes are perfectly cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done. If there's still batter attached, bake for a few more minutes.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before filling and frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
For a neater filling, use a piping bag fitted with a small tip.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can fill the cupcakes using a spoon. Just be careful not to overfill them.
Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the frosting to set.
