PRESSURE COOKER OCTOPUS & POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Remove the head, slit it in half and turn it inside out to empty it's contents and the little attached things including the eyes. Remove the beak in the center where all of the tentacles meet. Rinse the octopus under running water. Place potatoes whole, un-peeled, in the pressure cooker. Add enough water to just cover the potatoes half-way with a pinch of salt. Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high. When the pan reaches pressure, lower the flame to minimum heat and begin counting 15 minutes cooking time under pressure. When the time is up, release all of the vapor, remove the potatoes with tongs (reserve the cooking water), and peel them while they are as hot as you can handle Cook the octopus. Add more water in the pressure cooker (enough to almost cover the octopus), 1 whole garlic clove, the Bay leaf, the whole pepper and bring to a boil before adding the octopus. Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high. When the pan reaches pressure, lower the flame to minimum heat and begin counting 15 minutes cooking time under pressure. When the time is up, release all of the vapor, and check the octopus for tenderness by seeing if a fork will sink easily in the thickest part of the flesh. If not, close the top and bring it to pressure for another minute or two and check again. When the octopus is ready, remove and drain. Remove any remaining skin from the octopus by lightly dragging a knife blade on the back-end and sides of the tentacles - only remove the skin from the suction-cup side if you want to remove the suction cups. Chop the head and tentacles into small bite-sized chunks. While the octopus is cooking, you can prepare the vinaigrette by putting the following in a small jar or plastic container: ½ cup of good olive oil, 4-5 Tbsp. of white wine vinegar, two crushed garlic cloves, salt and ground pepper to taste. Close the lid and shake to blend.
