OCTOPUS SALAD


Here we are again in the Grandma Duck Kitchen with a brand new and super healthy recipe: octopus salad! I love this dish, it is easy and fast to do and it is perfect for lunch or dinner during summer time. 

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 octopus
  • 1 carrot
  • Celery
  • Onion
  • 3-4 potatoes 
  • Parsley
  • Rosemary
  • Lemon
  • Salt for seasoning

Method:

  • Peel and wash the vegetables: peel the carrot, cut some small onion pieces and peel the potatoes
  • Fill 1/4 of the pressure cooker with water to cook the vegetables with steam. Put the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes and parsley into the cooker and wait for it to boil.
  • Wash thoroughly the octopus and, when the water is boiling, put it in the pressure cooker, by putting first the ends and then the rest of the body
  • Close the pressure cooker and cook for 15 minutes
  • After 15 minutes turn off the pressure cooker
  • Take the octopus out, rinse under the water for a couple of minutes and then start to cut it in small pieces. Put in a bowl
  • Add to the bowl a little bit of oil, lemon, salt, cut rosemary and garlic. To add some flavour, you can add also some olives and small pieces of celery
  • Mix everything and serve it cold

Here the pics of how it came out for me:
