Add an octopus at the dinner table like

I want to share with you a recipe, easy, fun and impressive, a kind of fish sausage, "a" dried beef marinara "that will do a great look great on your table . We start now with the recipe, prepare it for you need:

-2 kg of octopus or octopus (in this case of large size)
-a splash of vinegar
-a sprig of thyme
-a pinch of salt

I used the giant squid because they are identical but have a very low cost, unlike the octopus at the fish that sometimes reach astonishing figures and we do not understand why! I apologize in advance for the bad picture quality but do other things in life, if I had the camera then you could criticize what you thought, in this case have pity on me.
start by cleaning the octopus, we obtain only two parties, what we call head or hat and part of the tentacles. You can ask your fishmonger to pulirveli, otherwise it is very easy to do it yourself, it makes an incision under the eyes, its tentacles all'attaccatura and another cut is made at the base of the cap, leaving aside all the mouthparts that will be thrown away, taking care to also remove the hard beak that is at the center of the tentacles. You empty the hat out of the entrails and then takes off skin pulling away from a corner, leaving the head and tentacles clean and white.

(Obviously this photo was not taken by me). Proceed with cooking the octopus into the pot, if you are masochistic and love the smell of fish that is spreading throughout the house and remains there for three days, then you can cook in a regular pot calculating at least 50 minutes for each pound of octopus, otherwise do as I do and use the pressure cooker for 30 minutes after the whistle. Immerse the squid in enough water to cover, add salt, a splash of vinegar, the bunch of thyme and start cooking. At the end of the allotted time drain the octopus and put it in a bowl to cool it

Now take a plastic bottle, the water so to speak, the shape you desire, round or square, depending on the form you want to give your "salami." With scissors an incision in the median narrowing of the bottle, cut out all around and put away the top

Cut octopus into large pieces, the hat in half and separate the tentacles one by one.

Enter now the pieces of octopus inside the plastic bottle, taking care to add a few pieces at a time and a lot of pressing his hand into a fist after each addition, so as to press well the octopus and no gaps, making out each time the liquid is formed. Proceed as follows to fill the bottle with all the octopus.

done, put the bottle covered with foil in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, the time required because the octopus is compact and well can then be cut like a real sausage.

After 24 hours, remove the bottle from the fridge and open it with scissors to release the octopus salami. Then lay them on a cutting board and knife with a long blade, flat and smooth (like the one for the ham) you make thin slices.

Arrange the slices on a serving dish and, as you wish, seasoned with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and lemon. If you love the flavor is to add a sprinkling of freshly ground pepper and a sprig of parsley or fresh chilli cut into slices or a splash of balsamic vinegar.

This recipe is great as an appetizer, main course or as a light, for the more daring, perfect as a replacement for ham, usually inside the sandwiches. The highly recommend to those who have the children because it is usually difficult to make him eat the fish, this version definitely looks more appealing and can also be fun to make together. calories are really negligible while the taste and nutritional qualities are excellent. It keeps in the refrigerator for 2 days and is highly effective with guests counting that is prepared in advance, What is not entirely negligible when you invite people for lunch or dinner and you do not want to spend all the time relegated to the kitchen to Sautee!
