Octopus salad with avocado and potatoes…
Do you love octopus? My children adore it and they would eat it every day!
A few days ago they were on sale at the supermarket so I bought one, I won’t belive how happy they were!
However, since I bought it, I wanted to take the opportunity to prepare a tasty recipe suitable for parties. I had an avocado in the fridge, which is never missing in my house, and with some potatoes I organized a simple and tasty dish, colorful and very choreographic, also suitable for a dinner or a festive lunch.
Are you curious? Let’s go prepare it together!!
Ingredients
- 2 poundsoctopus
- 1 poundpotatoes
- q.s.parsley
- q.s.salt
- 14 ouncesavocado
- q.s.pomegranate
- 1lemon
- q.s.olive oil
Preparation
Boil a pot full of water, and in the meanwhile, clean the octopus by removing the entrails, the beak and the eyes.
As soon as the water is boiling add a tablespoon of lemon juice and a slice cut into rings, salt.
Dip and pull up the octopus in boiling water three times. As soon as the tentacles curl, immerge it again and cook on low heat for 45 minutes.
After the time has passed, take it out and let it cool.
While you are cooking the octopus, dip the potatoes in cold water and boil them. As soon as you stick them with a toothpick and they will be soft (it will take about 30-40 minutes)drain and let them cool, then peel.
If like me you want perfect potatoes, peel, cut into pieces and steam for 15 minutes, then let them cool.
When these ingredients cool down, shell the pomegranate, and peel and cut the avocado.
Arrange in the dish the potatoes, avocado, octopus cut into pieces, distribute the pomegranate, chopped parsley, a sprinkling of salt and an abundant olive oil.
Garnish with lemon slices, everyone will use them to taste.
Serve the salad immediately, because after about an hour avocado will tend to oxidize and becoming dark.
