Octopus in Tomato Sauce Ingredients :

  • 1 kilogram of octopus tentacles
  • 300 grams of cherry tomatoes
  • 300 grams of Agromonte cherry tomato puree
  • 3 tablespoons of black olives
  • 1 tablespoon of capers
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 3 tablespoons of Casinetto Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Fresh parsley
  • Salt

How To Make Octopus in Tomato Sauce :

1

Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté garlic, thinly sliced onion, and fresh cherry tomatoes until they start to brown, about 1-2 minutes.

2

Add pitted olives, halved desalted capers, and a handful of chopped fresh parsley. Let it all infuse over high heat for 1 minute.

3

Introduce the octopus tentacles and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

4

Now, add the prepared Agromonte cherry tomato sauce, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat.

5

Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Check the tenderness of the tentacles; they should be soft. If they are still slightly firm, continue cooking for another 5 minutes.

7

Once ready, season with salt to taste and serve hot or warm, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley.
