OCTOPUS WITH GARLIC – POLIPI VERACI ALL’AGLIO

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Seafood Italian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Octopus (about 1 1/2 pounds
-each)
1/4 c Olive oil
5 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 Bay leaf
1/2 ts Cumin seeds
Salt
1 sm Green pepper, chopped

rosemary leaves and parsley

Cut out the eyes and mouth of the octopus. Remove the
ink sac and internal bone. Cut off the tough points in
the tentacles. Put each octopus on a board and beat
them well to break the fibers and make the meat more
tender. Wash them in running water until they are very
white; do not dry but put them in an earthen- ware
dish and season with oil, flavored with garlic, bay
leaf and cumin seeds. Cover the dish tightly with a
sheet of waxed paper or foil tied around the top with
string. Put the dish over a very low heat between 1
and 2 hours, according to the size of the octopus.
When they are tender, drain them, season with
additional oil, salt, green pepper, rosemary leaves
and parsley. Serve in a tureen.

edition published by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, 1973.

It doesn’t make reference to it in the text, but in
the pictures of both these dishes, it shows one or two
largish octopi garnished with reseattes of baby octopi
tentacles. I imagine you’d do quite well using the
‘baby’ octopi like those I see sold around here in the
supermarkets, or even with squid.

Title: OKTAPODI MARATHO KRASATO (OCTOPUS AND FENNEL
Categories: Greek, Seafood, Main dish, Appetizers
Yield: 4 servings

1 md Octopus
1 md Onion; chopped; *OR*
5 (scallions; chopped)
1/3 c Olive oil
1 c Dry red wine
1 bn Fennel; chopped
4 Tomatoes (fresh or canned)
– peeled, seeded chopped
Salt freshly ground pepper

Beat, pound and rub the octopus from 20 to 30 minutes on a rough stone
surface. The octopus will feel softer and will secrete a grayish liquid
after pounding. Wash thoroughly, then drain and cook in a covered pan
without adding water until the octopus turns bright pink-red and feels
tender. Using a sharp knife, cut into rounds the width of a small finger.
Heat the oil in a tsikali or any pot, add the onion, and cook until
translucent and soft. Add the round octopus slices to the onion and pour
in the wine, and simmer for 15 minutes. Put the fennel and tomatoes on top
of the octopus, season with salt and pepper to taste, and give the pot a
good shake to mix. Cover and simmer until the octopus is fork-tender
(approximately 45 to 50 minutes). Serve warm or cold.
