Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Seafood dishes are common for all Mediterranean residents. And for us, they are no longer such a rarity. I want to share a recipe I learned while vacationing in Spain. For cooking fried octopus, one specimen weighing about a kilogram is enough for me. Of course, the fresher, the better, but frozen will also do. Let's take a look at the recipe. The finished dish can be served at the table.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Rinse and clean the octopus.

    Put the octopus to boil — for about an hour, do not salt the water. Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Chop the tomatoes, mince the garlic, and finely chop the herbs and onion.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Take out the octopus and let it cool down. It may change color and the water might become colored—don't be alarmed. It should turn out tender. Cut it into pieces. Fry them in oil until they become crispier.

    Now mix the fried octopus and vegetables. Season with vinegar, spices, and oil. Ready to serve.
