Ctopus With Garlic - Polipi Veraci Allaglio Recipe
Yield: 6 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2: Octopus, about 1 1/2 pounds each
1/4 cup: Olive oil,
5 Cloves: garlic, crushed
1: Bay leaf,
1/2 tsp: Cumin seeds,
Salt,
1 small: Green pepper, chopped
Directions:
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.

It doesnt 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 youd do quite well
using the baby octopi like those I see sold around here in the
supermarkets, or even with squid.
