octopus salad

Simple recepie for the best traditional octopus salad.

I made an octopus salad at Zarace bay last week. Don't be fooled also to belive fresh octopus is better than frozen. Freezing makes the octopus less ruberry and more tender so when you buy it fresh freeze her and thaw before cooking

The best way is to boil a frozen octopus from a trusted fisherman or market, than dice her in to equal small squares and leave to chill.

Add a hand full of large capers.

Diced ognion.

Diced deliciousley smeling tomatoe.

Season with olive oil, sea salt, and red vine vinager. I prefer to add a squease the juice of a lemon. Add a little origanoe. (on Hvar they call the herb little ants and you can find it growing all over the island when you visit)

(To add quanity one can add diced cooked potatoe but the point is to have most octopus )

Enjoy whilst dipping fresh crustey bread into the vinegarete.
