Lambi Creole
A Haitian conch stew with tomato, sweet peppers, citrus and herbs.
About Lambi Creole
Lambi Creole is a Haitian conch stew with a substantial tomato and sweet-pepper sauce. Nathalie Jean-Baptiste’s version belongs to the home dinner table, with pieces of conch surrounded by colourful vegetables and aromatic seasoning.
Garlic, onion and herbs give the sauce a savoury foundation. Bitter orange and a separate citrus juice add tartness, while optional Scotch bonnet brings a sharper heat to the sweet peppers and tomato.
The conch retains a firm, chewy texture in its sauce. Pressed plantains, tassot boeuf and a bright, crunchy pikliz are offered alongside.
