5- Use your food grinder to grind together the conch pieces, red and green peppers, onions and hot peppers.

7- Then add your egg and mix again.

8- Lastly, add your flour one tablespoon at a time and mix until combined.

9- You can either plastic wrap it and let sit in the fridge for an hour or overnight.

11- Turn stove on to a medium-low heat.

12- Use two spoons to form 1-inch balls and drop them into the hot oil one at a time.
