Braised Octopus with Spinach
Pot: 5lt 24cm
Secuquick lid
Cooking time: 9'
Total time: 20'
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
700g octopus tentacles
700g spinach
1 tbsp hot pepper flakes
1/2 bunch parsley
1/2 bunch dill
2 fresh onions
1 dry onion
6 tbsp oil
50g white wine
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp tarragon
10 cherry tomatoes
50g tomato juice
1 tsp tomato paste
Procedure:
Take a 5lt 24cm pot and set the stove to medium-high heat (7) and the audiotherm to the steak setting. Once it's heated, add the octopus and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Deglaze with wine. Allow the alcohol to evaporate, and then add the finely chopped onions and mix. Sauté for half a minute.
Add the tomato juice, cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, hot pepper flakes, tarragon, tomato paste, dill, parsley, and the 6 tablespoons of oil. Mix well.
Set the heat to high (9) and close with the Secuquick lid. Set the audiotherm to turbo for 4 minutes. Once the indicator reaches the soft steak setting, lower the stove heat from 9 to 2.
As soon as it reaches turbo, the octopus will cook for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and wait for the indicator to return to its starting position.
Open the pot, set the heat to medium-high (7) and add the spinach. Close with the regular lid and set the audiotherm to the carrot setting for 5 minutes.
Once the indicator reaches the steak setting, lower the heat from 7 to 2. As soon as it reaches the carrot setting, our dish will cook for 5 more minutes. Turn off the heat and it's ready to serve.
Enjoy your meal!
