The Octopus is a mollusc very popular in Italian cooking for its lean meat and because it is extremely versatile. Ideal for the Mediterranean diet because low in fat, rich in protein and minerals, and with a low cholesterol content.
Cleaning the Octopus is not simple. It is important to “beat the Octopus” with a meat mallet for at least 5 minutes to get a tender flesh.
