Washing Up
Buon Giorno,
This morning, I had awakened in Puglia, with views of the Adriatic, and had run down to go over to the fishing boats, to purchase some fresh swordfish for Harry´s lovely recipe ... the baby octopus was plentiful, and thus, here is today´s lunch ... Harry´s Swordfish shall be for Sunday ...
CLASSIC ITALIAN GRILLED OCTOPUS
2 small baby octopus ( 500 grams each = 1 pound each )
125 ml. or 1 /2 cup: red wine vinegar
2 tblsps. sea water or regular tap water or mineral water
125 ml. Extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves
dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
sea salt to taste
1. rinse the octopus thoroughly & place in large pot with No Water
2. cover and cook over a simmer low flame for 40 - 50 minutes until tender
and pinkisk and the octopus has exuded its liquids
3. remove and cool and cut the octopus into tentacles
4. combine vinegar, water, Evoo, garlic minced and oregano in big bowl and marinate the octopus for 1 hour or at most 2 hours
5. remove the octopus with a slotted spoon and broil in oven or grill on BBQ if you have one
