Polpetielli to luciana

Clean the Octopus by overthrowing the sack and vuotandola, depriving them of the eyes (not to be confused with the suckers tentacles!), a small bone (the Bill) that are at the base of the bag and washing.

Let them simmer covered, in a ' pignatta ' of Crete with a glass of water (even better than seawater) from 20 minutes to 3/4 of an hour: depending on the size of polyps.

Add salt at the end if necessary.

Drain, cut into small pieces, toss with garlic, chopped or whole, oil, lemon, parsley and pepper.

Preparateli a bit in advance so that they have time to insaporirsi in condiment.

The same way you can cook even very large polyps, if you use the trick to beat them with force with a wand to sfibrar them and make them tender.

The ideal would be 100 g Octopus one at most.

The Octopus ' true ' must have two parallel rows of suckers on tentacles, if they had one would a vulgar ' sinisco ', Haunter of the slums instead of rocks, as well as his noble kinsman.

The difference, however, is not all here: the ' true ' cloaks itself in a robe Brown spotted with precious Pinks, while the humble ' sinisco ' content to a less refined and lively paludamento.

Explains an old fisherman of Pozzuoli between the two races there are definitely reports, disparate and distant in spheres they inhabit; each is on his own and ignore each other.

Both said, however, in defense of poor humble sinisco who, even though it has less scent than ' true ', it's not even sneered at.

In the absence of tastier her like that, you could accept it, especially if it will be ' drowned ' in a sauce in which the oil and tomato mixed with its natural fragrance, albeit limited, will him wrapped with garlic and parsley, in a tasty stew.

Boiled to ' Luciana and seasoned only with oil and lemon do not know consigliarvelo: so much simplicity should be the preserve of the most fragrant one ' true '.
