IngredientsBest Octopus Salad Recipe-Family Cooking

  • 500-600 g fresh octopus
  • 2-carrots
  • 1-2 cerely sticks
  • 1- unpeeled garlic clove
  • Some laurel leaves
  • Fresh parsley
  • 1 lemon (juice)
  • Salt
  • Olive oil

Directions

  1. First, we need to clean the octopus from the eye and the intestinal parts. You can remove the intestinal sacket as it is, opening the mouth part with a kitchen knife. In fact, all you need to clean it is inside the part that we called the octopus head because the other parts are the octopus legs. If your octopus is too big, you can hit it over a hard part like a stone or rock. Or you can put in a driver for one night to relax the octopus muscles.
  2. We fill a casserole with water and put it to boil. Peel the carrots, cut in pieces, not too small, and transfer in the casserole. Cut the cerely, and put it to boil. Add some laurel leaves and one unpeeled garlic clove. When the water starts to boil, add the salt. Take the octopus by the head side and plunge it by the leg sides. We repeat this process 3-4 time, plunging the octopus legs and put it out. You will see that the octopus legs will gather like springs in a rolling shape. Plunge the octopus completely, and let it boil with herbs in low heat, for about one hour. Best Octopus Salad Recipe-Family Cooking Recipes
  3. Let the octopus cool and cut it in pieces about 1-2 cm long. We can cut in the way the carrots and cerely to add to our salad.
  4. In a bowl, we mix the ingredients to prepare our salad dressing. Add olive oil, lemon juice and chopped parsley and mix together.
