Ingredients
-
1 cup cooked conch peas (tender, drained, and cooled)
-
1 large cucumber (peeled, seeded, finely chopped)
-
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
-
2 tbsp mayonnaise
-
1 tbsp sour cream (optional, for extra tang)
-
1 tbsp finely grated onion
-
1–2 tsp fresh dill (or ½ tsp dried)
-
1 tsp lemon juice or a splash of vinegar
-
Salt & black pepper to taste
-
1–2 tbsp toasted benne seeds (optional, for texture)
-
Soft white sandwich bread
Instructions
1. Prep the cucumber (don’t skip this)
Place chopped cucumber in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This keeps your filling thick and spreadable (not soggy).
2. Lightly mash the conch peas
You want a mix of textures:
-
Some peas mashed (for creaminess)
-
Some left whole (for bite)
3. Make the base
In a bowl, mix:
-
Cream cheese
-
Mayo
-
Sour cream
-
Onion
-
Dill
-
Lemon juice
-
Salt & pepper
4. Fold everything together
Add:
-
Cucumber
-
Conch peas
-
Benne seeds (if using)
Mix until combined but still slightly textured.
5. Chill (important!)
Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to let flavors come together and firm up.
6. Assemble sandwiches
-
Spread onto soft white bread
-
Remove crusts
Cut into fingers, triangles, or tea squares
