Summary
A “Meze” to accompany Ouzo!
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1-2 of pinches dill
• 1 medium octopus
• 1/3 cup of olive oil (at your own discretion)
• 1 large, red onion
• 2-3 pinches of oregano
• 1-2 pinches of pepper
• 1 medium, green pepper
• 2-3 pinches of salt
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1-2 tablespoons of red wine’s vinegar

Directions

• First, boil your octopus for about 35-45 minutes depending on its size.
• While you are waiting, finely chop all other ingredients and set aside.
• When octopus is ready, cool down with cold water and clean away the slimy red skin and remove the “head” which is the mouth area of the octopus.
• Do this after boiling the octopus instead of before because it is easier.
• Chop up your octopus into 2 cm cubes, add all the other ingredients, and add oil and vinegar as if it were a salad. (Greeks use heaps!!!)
• Hint: this dish is tastier if you put it in the fridge for about half an hour before serving.
