I am leaving now for Greece to get extra virgen greek olive oil and greek octopus!! I hope I get back in time to get dinner ready!! Oh, wait. I live in Argentina!! LOL.
LOL!!!!!!!
Dear Chef Akis, I had the luck of tasting this dish in Greece many years ago and I cooked it in my house many times, and now I see you recipe and you cook it just the same as I learnt, so you got me inspired, I went to the fishmonger and bought a nice octopus, italian octopus ahaha... and now it's cooking. Just one thing: WHY call it mac and cheese... it's a traditional greek recipe, be proud of it! Thank you and keep on rockin'!!!
OMG you record twice every recipe, one in english and the other in greek!!
That's what I call effort. Congrats on both channels
almost every recipe.... some are just for the Eng;ish channel and some in Greek
I bet you have a tattoo saying extra virgin Greek olive oil 😂😂
I laughed soo hard at this comment. You made my day!
aneesh thombre
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Extra Virgin Greek
aneesh thombre 👏👏😂😂😂
If don't, please consider making one! hahahah
You and your channel inspire me to cook more of my Greek heritage. Thank you 😘
"This is the best greek english channel on all youtube, because there is no other... " hahahaha you are nuts. Great recipe. Is there any other options besides brandy with star anis? will it be good with frozen octopus? thanks again for sharing all these great recipes!
Frozen octopus is generally fine to use. In fact, it is often a better choice as freezing octopus makes it more tender.
ohhhh thanks a lot!
most liquor stores have ouzo. I'm in Pittsburgh and all the stores have it, its not expensive either.
Brandy with star anise to make it more Greeky - I love this bloke xxx
@@xandrios fresh octopus is always better than frozen! In general fresh food is always better and healthier than frozen food c mon men! Im sure Gordon Ramsay would not approve your comment 😂😂😂
Also being Greek myself and born there (Saloniki aka: Thessaloniki) I love how you take pride in Greek food and good quality ingredients! Keep up the good work. One day when I come back we cook together?
Brits don't usually go for octopus, but we in Portugal LOVE IT! Great recipe mate. Cheers.
Great recipe! I appreciate the part on how to prepare/cut the octopus before cooking.
The way you say "extra virgin Greek olive oil" is hilarious :D
Greek food is so underrated! Love this dish!
You are just the best.😍

you are best chef , ur fan from india
Oh man this looks so so good. I can't wait to give this a shot Akis. Thanks for the recipe.
Wow... I never wanted to try octopus, untill now.
that's the idea!
Akis Kitchen how long can the octupus be over the fire without getting hard? maximun cooking time?
the longer you cook the softer it gets. cook until it's not rubbery anymore
Try it .. especially ours the Greek way it’s super tasty 😋
"this is the Best Greek english channel on UA-cam because there's no other"
you're right Akis.
great recipe as always 😊😋
My favourite recipe for octopus, from my country Mauritius, is octopus salad. But i will definitely try this one. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
Oh it's very tasty like this and a completely different type of cooking. You can have 2 favorite recipes ;)
pmparda definitely 😊
Can you tell me how you make this octopus salad pls? Greetings from Greece!
Κωνσταντινος Αδαμοπουλος Hello, a simple octopus salad recipe is on the website internationalcuisine.com, google MAURITIUS OCTOPUS SALAD (SALDE OURITE)
Enjoy ☺
+Charleen A thanks!
WOW, creative and comforting. Thank you chef ❤️

I love the passion you have !
Thanks for the lesson in preparing the octopus. This looks amazing. Now to find the octopus.
Really tasty looking twist on an old classic. I think I'll try that
Your channel deserves million subscribers
looks delicious. I will try it
I made this last week. At the end i had little confidence in it when i put the macaroni to the dish but everything came out well. It was delicious. My thank for sharing.
Seriously dude, that looks awesome
Looks delicious. (And so does the food).
Wow another great Mr. Octopus recipe!
Fantastic!
Wonderful recipe as always! :D
Best food tuber. You can also tell his skill is really up there.
Unique recipe & interesting presentation. Glad to discover your channel Akis. Cheers! 🙌🏻😆

This looks out of this world!!! Seriously Sawesome!! - new subscriber here!
Really good dish tasty!!!
BRAVO!
love will make this for start of lent next week minus the feta
This is superb...thanks Akis. I didn't know Greekie was a word lmao. I haven't had octopus in a long time and never this style....this looks very very good.
it looks so good akis! though i have to ask, is it easy for the octopus to get over cooked?
Awesome recipe, this make me travellin' to greece 🤤
“More Greeky” I’m officially using that as reasoning when my husband wants to know why I do things the way I do! Cuz I’m more Greeky! Ha ha! Can’t wait to make this dish!
Never been so interested in cooking.
Tutti a tavola a mangiare!
Akis your recipes and tutoring are amazing! As a Greek myself I try to improve my Greek cooking skills since I live very far away from home now. Keep up the good work!!
Yet I wish to give you a tip: Could you improve a bit the lighting of your new shooting location? It seems darker and not so jolly as the old set (you are super jolly and a pleasure to watch by the way :p). A bit of warmer lighting or colors would make it a bit more lively and lavish :) I love seeing the full color palette of your dishes!
Keep it up! Greetings from the Netherlands!
I have never had octopus in a hot dish, only in cold "salad" this looks amazing and when octopus is tender..OMG YUM!!
Take it from a Greek...this is one of THE tastiest octopus recipes in existence. I seldom crave greek recipes on youtube, because I eat them all the time but as soon as I saw this I said " *some inappropriate words*, this is incredible"
Pasperis88 If I can actually find a octopus I WILL DEFINITELY try this...it sounds incredible! I spent a month in Greece, best food EVER, best trip EVER!! A WEEK on Crete & seafood was unmatchable! your sooooo lucky!
The only way I would try this dish, is if I can meet Akis!!!💖💖💖
Looks great!! Would you receommend putting chili flakes in it?
oh yesssss!!
I made this with squid and octopus fried the squid for crunch and kept the octopus how you cooked it was very good nd some finely chopped greek olivas
Perfection
Mr Octopus !
Love the thumbnail for this vid. It's GANGSTA!
LOL!!!!!! true!
wow yesterday a was craving for mac and cheese ( and watched the best recipevideo, yours ofcourse), and this afternoon i have been looking at octopus dishes because i was craving that one and now i see your thumbnail and that just made me blink for a couple of times. Got me thinking what this coincidence means, amazing
Jasmin0588 means you should get a cucumber instead
Muhammad Ammar a sea cucumber
Jasmin0588 guess ill be giving you the best sea cucumber you will ever taste.
Muhammad Ammar if it's made by a master chef i would very maby try it, don't think you are one
IT is known to have a very bland taste hmm
luv octopus....
Love your channel Akis 🖤.... try putting a damp kitchen towel under your cutting board so it doesn’t slide
Any good suggestion to what I can use in stead of octopus?
this is a traditional greek recipe especially for octopus. Its every kids favourite. Translated it means "Mac 'n Octopus" if it makes sense:P I think Akis added the cheese in the title just to make it more comfortable for you guys. As you understand, octopus can't really be replaced xD
Would fish stock be too overpowering? :) Just curious!
Wow, the plate at the end looks gorgeous... I need to find octopus right now!
depends on who is eating. If you love seafood then go for it. :)
one of a kind recipe, still thinking if i will ever consume octopus..............#very greeky
you will be surprised by the texture and taste once it is cooked. I can tell you it is my favorite seafood by far.
Ok... I lived in an area where I was surrounded by Greeks, awesome people, culture and food!!! Now since I am grown up, I really wonder why they ever left the beautiful Mediterranean?? It may have been because of political problems, which is usually the case! But I realize and am so grateful for your wonderful recipes, Akis!! Besos y abrazos amor!!
Oh... and I moved from the area where my Greek friends were living. To a worse area for eating healthy and fantastic tasting foods! I miss good food!!
Wow! Octopus is my fave♡
RIP Mr. Octopus :(
To make this more "Greeky" I would suggest using orzo pasta.In any case looks delicious, I'm gonna try this, I love octopus.
Wow - looks incredible!!
yum
I'm not into octopus but yours 💖
I need to find some fresh octopus!
frozen is good too
Both are hard to find in Sweden :-(
Hope you found extra virgin Greek octopus 😄
Aki have you tried this with mizithra or kasseri chesse?
I saw you only garnish with feta cheese at the end. Is that the only cheese needed in this recipe?
Looks amazing Akis! I will try it soon. I have a question though, if I remember correctly, my mom used to take off the skin of the octopus, so i'm wondering, isn't it better to take it off? And how to take it off? Thanks :)
no need to!
Thanks for the answer Akis! And keep up the great work, your recipes are amazing!
OMG!!!!!! HE LOOKS DELICIOUS! I MEAN THE MAC AND CHEESE LOOKS DELICIOUS!!!!! ;)
Ίσως το αγαπημένο μου φαγητο μπόμπα το έκανες Άκη θα το κάνω και μόνος σίγουρα
Because there is No Other lol Good One Man
So seductive. I have to make this one Day!!!
I like just behause of the titel
"Oktapoos" i love the vids aki :)
I'm speechless... what??
Makaronakis heheiehiehe.
That man loves his olive oil 😂
indeed!
XD best greek channel =D
Hello again Mister Octopus
Would gin work as an ouzo substitute?
You can use it but it is not the same.
Greek octopus
I love him, everything about him, just wish the music was a bit quieter , just a bit plz
Is it possible to substitute calimari (squid) for the octopus? Calimari I like; octopus? Perhaps not.
haven't tried with calamari but I know that cuttlefish works
yes you can
Konos P--Yes. There is a subtle difference in flavor and I found octopus to be somewhat "chewier" than calamari. I have an excellent recipe for a pasta salad that features calamari.
You can but this is a classic Greek dish .. we serve calamari with fries most of the time
Mac n cheese with octopus.. it sounds like that recipe from when Rhett and Link did their collab with food network.
to be more "greeky" haha love it
4:00 stir until the macaroni evaporates? Lol
...well, shit happens!!
Stir until the macaroni evaporates all the stock.... that's what he said
"Greek octopus" lol had a good laugh
This recipe is actually as Greek as it can get! Also, we have plenty of octopuses in Greece.
Sagapo!
Unfortunately, I'm likely the only one of my friends that ever has/would consider eating octopus. That and I have no idea where I would even get octopus where I live
hmmmmmm easy to find around here... in the frozen section of the super market
i live right about dead center of north america, no salt water around me. i'll take a look around, though.
Replace the octopus with squid?!
If you can find a fishmonger they might have them. I live in a coastal town in Sweden and the only place I can find octopus is really dodgy looking ones in asian supermarkets that I'm not sure I want to eat and at fishmongers.
Damn thats a shame! Here in Greece we eat octopus all the time! It has a very strong taste and if cooked properly it has the best texture! The most common recipes (appart from the one Akis showed) are either boiled in vinegar or simply grilled. Anyway, you should definately try it sometime :P
OctApoos 👍🏽
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
aki eise kai poli ellinaras re file :D
δεν ξερω αν πρεπει να λυπαμαι που κανεις καθε συνταγη 2 φορες :/ respect
Περισσοτερο φαί για τους υπολοιπους εκει.
Akis you're my man crush😍
Looks a great recipe, as I normally do not like Mac and Cheese as it is so fatty.
pls can u show octopus greek id
