description
A great dish that is part of the Apulian culinary tradition is the stewed octopus with potatoes!
preparation
step 1
Clean the octopus by beating it and rubbing it on a rough surface to eliminate its viscosity. Then cut it into coarse pieces.
step 2
In a pignata (failing: use a steel pan with thick bottom) pour the extra virgin olive oil and add the octopus into small pieces.
step 3
Cover and brown without adding water and salt: the octopus must cook in its own water which releases during cooking. Cook for about 30 minutes on a low heat.
step 4
Halfway through cooking, the octopus will start to change color tending to dark pink: at this point add the potatoes, cut and cut into cubes or slices, and mix.
step 5
Blend with a little white wine; then add all the smells cut very finely: onion, garlic, tomatoes cut into small pieces, parsley and pepper.
step 6
Cover the pot with its lid and continue cooking on a low flame for another 30 minutes.
step 7
Once ready, check the cooking of the octopus: when it has acquired a reddish color and the fork is easily put into the potatoes, everything will be cooked in the right place. Serve hot with slices of homemade bread.
