Recipe:

To prepare the parsley octopus salad started with the octopus: rinse it under running water, place it on a cutting board and with a knife cut the bag at eye level to eliminate them, then also remove the beak. If the octopus is fresh, to soften the meat, beat it with a hammer or a meat mallet. Rinse the octopus again under cold running water and remove the entrails from the bag by washing it carefully inside. Peel the carrot with a vegetable peeler, then cut it into coarse pieces. Do the same thing with the celery stick. Place a large pot with water on the heat; pour the carrot clean and reduced to pieces, the rib of celery always in pieces, the clove of poached garlic, the bay leaves and add the pepper and salt. When the water has touched the boil, to curl the tips of the octopus tentacles dip them several times (4 or 5 will suffice) in the boiling water. Finally dip the octopus completely in the pan and cook over very low heat for 40-45 minutes, covering with a lid. While cooking, with a slotted spoon you can remove the residues and the foam on the surface from the cooking water. At the end of the cooking let the octopus cool in the same water so that it is soft. Then transfer it to the cutting board: with a knife separate the head from the tentacles and divide them in half. Cut the tentacles into small pieces of about 1 cm. Also cut the head into small pieces and pour everything into a bowl. Season with: squeeze the lemon to obtain 10 g of juice, then wash, pat and finely chop the parsley. Make the dressing by pouring parsley, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper into a jar (to make it easier to emulsify). Close and mix. Pour the dressing on the octopus, mix well and serve your parsley octopus salad!
