Notes about this recipe

  • Totallywired on April 05, 2019

    Used the octopus cook method a half dozen times - highly recommended. High heat pushes out retained liquid and resuits in lightly browned octo in flavourful stock, both of which can be repurposed in a dozen different directions. A favourite is charring the octo over charcoal, mixing with fingering potatoes and olives, making a vinaigrette with some of the octo liquid. Made the stew here for the first time and reaction was mixed. Not the best cook or texture on the tomatoes or fennel and perhaps a cinnamon overload. Good but could do better.
