Makawoni Au Graten ak Lambi (Haitian Style Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Conch)
May 17, 2020
So let me start this post off by saying this isn’t a traditional Haitian dish… in my mind I made this up… I was watching a video on YouTube and the video that played automatically after it was a recipe on how to make Lobster Mac and cheese. It looked delicious and I said to myself “self, you can flip it and turn it into Haitian style” I didn’t actually say self guys, I’m not crazy now ;-p I’m not a big Lobster eater, it’s just not something I eat often so Lambi (conch) came to mind and who doesn’t love Lambi? We have a very detailed post and video where my mom shows you how to clean Lambi and prepare it for cooking, check that video out here: Lambi nan sòs (Lambi in sauce)
So these are the ingredients you will need to make the lambi (conch). To begin you will have to clean it of course so below I posted brief instructions on how to do that.
Brief instructions on how to clean Lambi (Conch):
Ingredients:
- ½ lbs Conch
- 1 lemon, half juice reserved
Tools:
- Malet
- Sharp knife and kitchen shears
- Plastic wrap
- Cutting board
Instructions:
- Remove pink and black parts and discard. Slice thick pieces into two.
- Place pieces between plastic wrap and tenderize conch by pounding it with the malet being sure not to over-tenderize.
- Cut into small bite-size pieces then rub each piece with lemon halves. Rinse the conch with cold water then discard water.
Recipe will be available soon.
