The Italian Octopus Recipe You Can't Resist: Polpo alla Luciana

Рет қаралды 42,910

Күн бұрын

This iconic Neapolitan dish made with tender octopus is a simple stew to make but with the
most remarkable flavours. Prepared using peeled tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers and fresh
parsley it is truly a symbol of the Mediterranean and an ode to fishermen who would cook their
freshly caught octopus dockside at the end of their day.

"Rabbia in Italia: turisti tedeschi rovesciano una statua dell'800 di Enrico Butti, dal valore di oltre 100mila euro nel nord Italia per un “selfie”. L'incidente è stato ripreso dalle telecamere di sorveglianza locali. In particolare, possiamo vedere uno dei giovani spingere l'opera, stimata in circa 100.000 euro, con l'ausilio di un bastone prima che si schianti contro il suolo. Il titolare della struttura ha deciso di sporgere denuncia. È finita nel peggiore dei modi, con una denuncia per vandalismo e un danno al patrimonio artistico di inestimabile valore, la festa di un gruppo di influencer tedeschi e la loro vacanza italiana. I sei turisti, tra i 25 e i 30 anni, tra cui l'influencer tedesco Janis Danner, soggiornavano a Villa Alceo a Viggiù, nell'alto varesino. Lunedì scorso si sono recati nel pittoresco cortile della villa per scattare qualche “selfie”. Due di loro sono saliti nella fontana per posare con la “Domina”, opera realizzata dall'artista italiano Enrico Butti. I filmati di sorveglianza mostrano come i due uomini sembrano abbracciare la statua di 1,70 m mentre un altro la fa cadere con un bastone. I due giovani nella fontana poi perdono l'equilibrio prima di cadere, portando con sé la Domina. Il proprietario del lussuoso B&B di Viggiù, che ha immediatamente denunciato l'accaduto ai carabinieri vorrebbe fare pubblicamente i nomi dei vandali, tutti registrati all'arrivo e ripresi dalle telecamere di sicurezza, ma preferisce per ora soprassedere, nella speranza che sia possibile una forma di conciliazione per risarcire il danno. Ecco il video che diventato rapidamente virale sul Web, sta suscitando grande emozione in Italia" 😱😢

Yes, indeed, chef, this is the one I’ve been waiting for. One of the greatest benefits of living in New York City, for me, is the ready availability of fresh seafood. The Fulton Fish Market is perhaps the most well known. It’s kind of like Zabar’s Market as a showplace for exotic food, which is definitely cool, but I actually favor the smaller fish markets in Chinatown.

Vincenzo, can I please make a recipe request? I'm from Scotland and recently visited Italy (Naples, Montepertuso, Positano, Amalfi Coast in general) and fell madly in love with one particular dish: GENOVESE. In one week I ended up consuming this three times, at three different restaurants, all of which were incredible and varied in the most subtle but amazing ways. The sweetness is maddening and I feel it's one of those one-of-a-kind recipes. I've been making it at home since I returned from Italy, but it would make my year to see how YOU would tackle this dish, as it is noticeably absent from your channel. I'm sure you can show us the 'right way' to do the Genovese. Thank you 😁

I had Greek neighbour here in Melbourne whose garage would have smoke pour out of it every Saturday night. Then you'd smell the lamb cooking. I had a big fig tree in the back yard, and they'd steal all the figs they could reach. Mother and Grandmother would hoik those things down with umbrellas and walking sticks, and repay us with Baklava and all manner of mediterannean pastries, so it wasn't really stealing. Sometimes it sounded like someone was practicing tennis in that garage. A Greek Doctor I used to work with explained it to me. The man was throwing an octopus at the wall to tenderise it. I took a sneak peak and sure enough, bloke is hurling a cephalopod twice this size at the old red brick garage wall. Then, the smokey garage happened. Lots of Rebetika that night. Voices, cars in the street. Monaros, Valiants. Long time ago. Guess it was a big deal. Miss those times.

Hi Vincenzo, i love your videos and have learnt a lot of good pasta recipes from you, so thanks in advance! I have a question about this video. Why not boil the octopus separately and then add it to the sauce? I'm just curious about why we cook it in the pan instead of boiling it, cause in Spain we tend to boil it in a cooking pot. Maybe it absorbs more flavours from the sauce when it cooks? Thanks in advance!

It's so good! How wonderful that you have fond memories of the Italian seafood salad from your time in Sardinia! Seafood dishes in Italy can be truly exquisite, and the combination of octopus and other fresh ingredients makes for a delicious and memorable culinary experience.

A correction....octopus can often have a rubbery texture if left in sauce to saute...that is why most Chefs prefer to pan sear or grill the Octopus, remove, and cook sauce separately...

Thanks for the valuable insight! 🐙👨‍🍳 Pan searing or grilling octopus separately does ensure a tender texture. Your expertise adds a delicious twist to the cooking process. Keep creating exceptional dishes! 🍽️🔥🇮🇹

Love octopus! This is a great cook. Learned to eat and catch octopus in Spain. It seems sticking your arm between rocks to untie your sail boat is enough to have an octopus latch on to it. One does need some help getting it off. Tasted great! Watching from Holland

Hi Vincenzo, yummi recipe ! QUESTION! > I usually boil octopus before frying it (like 50 mins for 1 kg of octopus)... THis way I always get it very tender. I have never started from frying octopus like you did. Is it better to fry it from the start??? Wouldnt it make the octopus tougher and chewy? thanks for your explanation

@vincenzosplate 8 ай бұрын

When it comes to octopus, both boiling and frying can yield fantastic results. Frying from the start can give it a beautiful texture and a crispy exterior, but the key is not to overcook it. With the right technique, you can achieve a perfect balance-tender on the inside and golden crisp on the outside.

Greetings and Merry Christmas from northern New Jersey. My dish came out quite well. The octopus was nice and tender and we enjoyed the sauce. My sauce wasn’t as thick as yours but I’ll make some adjustments next time to get the desired thickness. Next time I’m also going to add some shrimp and nicely seared scallops to the end of the cooking process. I’ll keep you posted. Until then thanks for the great videos.
