Il polpo alla Gallega gustato in Spagna

Polpo alla Gallega

Il polpo alla Gallega gustato in Spagna.
Uno dei miei piatti preferiti quando sono in Spagna è questo. Tanta paprica ed olio di oliva.
Leggero (ma se si esagera nemmeno poi cosi tanto), delicato e gustoso.
Sono solo indeciso se mi piace di più alla Galiziana oppure alla plancia (alla griglia).

Per approfondimenti sulla ricetta (della quale potete trovare decine di siti ed articoli) vi rimando a quanto vi ho scritto nel mio article.

Octopus is a very popular mollusc in professional and sport fishing. Fishing techniques are traditional and consist of using a bait called pulcina, which is sometimes used together with crabs and fish. Sometimes fresh octopus is prepared using the curling technique directly on the rocks or in special machines that allow it to be tasted raw. The curled octopus has tentacles in the shape of “curls”, dilated suckers and a characteristic “crunchy” consistency.

Octopus Gallega style at home

Polpo alla Gallega a casa

Octopus Galician style at home.
There are already several posts about octopus Spanish style. This time it is different because the dish was made at my house.
First I boiled the octopus (a nice fresh octopus); separately I also boiled a potato. Then I cut everything into slices, moistened with local olive oil and sprinkled with paprika and salt (coarse salt would have been needed but I used fine salt).
And there you have it.

Not to be immodest but it was really delicious, don't you think? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797) or octopus is a cephalopod of the Octopodidae family, which should not be confused with the polyp which is instead, for example, the animal (belonging to the Cnidaria) that gives rise to coral.

Galician octopus in Ibiza

Galician octopus in Ibiza.
One of my favorite dishes is Galician octopus. If I'm in Spain and I have to eat out I always order it.
Boiled octopus placed on a bed of potatoes (also boiled). Lots of olive oil and equally lots of paprika and salt. I like it almost as much as liguria-style octopus.

How do you like it best?
