Hi GialloZafferano viewers and welcome to our kitchen. Today we'll be making octopus Carpaccio. This is an interesting and unusual way to prepare the usual boiled octopus. To make it, you'll need a plastic bottle -- reuse one left over from bottled water or any other drink. Let's see what we'll need:
• Coarse salt
• A carrot, 2 stalks of celery and 1 onion
• A few black peppercorns
• 6 juniper berries
• 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
• 4 bay leaves • A 2 and a half pound octopus
• Parsley
• 1 clove of garlic
• Salt and pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil
• And 1 lemon
Let's make our octopus Carpaccio
First thing is to prepare the octopus. This octopus is already cleaned out, that is the head is completely emptied out, however besides this you'll need to remove the eyes, and the beak which is essentially the teeth located in the centre of the tentacles. Remove the eyes with two cuts cutting a wedge around the eyes, and normally when you remove the eyes, you'll see the end of the beak just below. With a small knife you can cut out the beak from the cut you've just made. Like this. Now wash the octopus very well and then we can go on to cooking it.
In a pot, add some water and then the onion peeled and cut in half, the peeled carrot, the celery, peppercorns, juniper berries, and the bay leaves. Add a bit of salt and the vinegar as well. Now it's time to boil the octopus. To get the tentacles into a more aesthetically pleasing form (you can also do this for octopus salad), you should curl the legs. To do this, slowly submerge the tentacles in the boiling water until they begin to curl up, like this. Little by little, as you can see, the tentacles begin to curl. Dip the tentacles for at least 6 -- 7 times or until they're very curled. Here we are. Now that the ends of the tentacles are curled, you can submerge the octopus and let it simmer, don't let the water come to a full boil. Simmer for a half hour for each pound of octopus, so for this size, about an hour or so will be fine.
When the octopus is cooked, drain it, let it cool and then you can cut it. Remove the head and cut it in half, and then cut the octopus into 1/4ths. Now we're ready to put it in the bottle.
And here's how to do it. Here's the bottle, which for this amount of octopus should be about a litre capacity. If you have a larger octopus, simply use a larger bottle, 1 and a half or 2 litres depending on the size. First of all, cut off the tapered end of the bottle and leave the straight part. Next, poke holes into the bottom of the bottle using an awl or the ends of a scissor. Be careful it doesn't slip and cut you. Put the bottle into a bowl to catch the water from the octopus, and then put the octopus in. If you can, try to keep the tentacles curled in the bottle because they will make a really nice cross-section when cut. Add everything and then press all of the pieces down very firmly using a pestle or something else heavy and wide enough to not pierce the octopus.
After you've pressed down the octopus and the liquid has drained, it's time to close the bottle. Cut the plastic vertically to the height of the octopus, and then close the bottle by folding the tabs to the centre. Then you're ready to wrap it in plastic wrap very well, and then let it chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours with a weight on top to keep everything compact.
After 6 hours, you can take the octopus out of the bottle. Just lift the tabs, and turn the bottle upside down and the octopus will slide out. Now we're ready to cut the slices -- use an electric knife or a very sharp knife that will let you get the slices as thin as possible. Also you can prepare the dressing for the octopus -- lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix it together and it's ready. Now let's cut our octopus.
Once you've cut the octopus, serve it immediately, or put the slices in the fridge because if they warm up they'll come out of shape. Now, finely mince the garlic and parsley and sprinkle it in and around the octopus. Then drizzle it with the dressing. The octopus Carpaccio is ready to be served.

It takes an Italian, Greek or Iberic chef to give you a truly good seafood recipe! congrats to this young lady! a splendid way to serve a delicious and somewhat expensive treat! Solo cuochi Italiani, Greci ed Iberici possono dire di veramente saper preparare frutti di mare! complimenti a questa giovane cuoca! un modo splendido di servire un frutto di mare delizioso ed alquanto caro!

Beautiful recipe and equally beautiful Host.
You're right, I agree with you
Really interesting! I liked the curling method.
this dish is amazing!, really tasty! Although i did want to see you cut the carpaccio
Thank you Sonia!
Good recipe, will try. Imagine cutting thin slices will be most difficult.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
I agree the cutting is missing , make another vid of that :) thanks for the recipe looks very nice.
I made this recipe the other day---ABSOLUTLEY DELICIOSO!!! The Octopus remained tender --- I used extra garlic in the dressing! My wife didn't sleep in the same bed as me that evening----tooooo garlicky!!!!
@reginadellacasa C'è... guarda sul canale youtube di giallozafferano e cerca carpaccio di polpo!
looked very nice at the end, made me wanna have some.
Good
I would serve this dish as an appetizer. I have been cooking with octopus now for over 8 years.
Amazing video? How much salt and vinegar needs to be added though?
must be awesome!
too bad you havent shown the slicing process, would be interesting to watch
Exclant
Very excellent.
Thanks.
awesome Chef am a Chef and I say to you Great Job! Chef!!
It's more suitable as an appetizer, in my opinion...!
Wonderful recipe!!! Thank you!
As for those people who think that removing eyes and mouth from the octopus is gross, what do you think is happening to the cow, the meat of which you eat?
Let's be realistic!
Really excellent!
This is brilliant...thank you :)
Thank you :-)
woah...so cool!
Great !!!
that looks amazing
When do you eat this? Is it a side dish, or an appetizer for example?
@studderabcd And how is it different from eating squid, shrimp, clams or oysters? Or, well, any animal, for that matter?
Derp.
Weird recipe... LoL! but looks kinda nice :) I WANT SOME
@simpleearthling I never tried...
@zachariasthomas It's Sonia!
The octopus is a highly evolved intelligent creature.
@Sadude13 Nice dish and professionally done ,
Тетка просто супер объяснила! ел такое с пивом в пальмасе)))
how you sliced it like that?
What an innovative way to make the dish. :) I've had this in restaurants before (and it was lovely) but I've always assumed I had no way to make it myself due to the lack of proper tools.
I'm so making this soon. :D
Sonia it would've been very nice as part of the lesson to show people watching this video how it is you are slicing the pulpo. Otherwise a waste of time to do this method.
You can cut it with a sharp knife or a food slicer, if you have it... it's not so difficult!
Not the point I'm making. I'm actually a chef and think that learning from others and actually watching others work at their craft is part of the experience. But thanks for your post.
googo151
Of course, you're right! Thanks for the suggestion :-)
yellowsaffron Love the respect going on here lol. But I am a chef as well and would like to know if you cut it horizontally or vertically. I believe that the point googo151 was trying to convey as-well. Thanks for the neat bottle trick!
wrathof Slice it crosswise!
just imagine xD ... .. a death creature with that happy musik ! xD .. in other dimensions thit would be a snuff movie xD
looks awsome ... thx for uploadinG !!!! :)
Bom dia tinha que ensina cortando
yummi Italian sashimi ,...translation: English "cut octopus into quarters" Italian: "cut the octopus in four parts"
tntchef
ur 100% right I also pay more attention on someone elses error.
very good brava..
Gino Magnarelli Thanks! Have you tried it already? :)
yes but after several hours in the fridge it was not stacked together and it was hard to slice do you freeze it? or do you put anything else?
thank you
Probably you should have left it in the fridge longer and pressed it better... the cooler it is, the better it slices!
controlla er frigo Gì
Another great way to enjoy fresh raw octopus is the Thai "kerabu" style, with vinegar, lemongrass, fish sauce and loads of other things. Paired with a dry Riesling or Gewurtzraminer, this type of carpaccio/sashimi -style dishes are wonderful appetizers.
Wow, very interesting, can I come over for dinner sometime? :)
So in the end, we're just making an octopus sausage.
ische mache immer in oltupussi vie quetsche.
dhan kommen viel saft out them.
I like to know the name of this lady
should have demonstrated the slicing
i've had this thing about octopus ever since i saw popeye the sailor man the movie as a kid. i couldn't eat it.
@reginadellacasa sfortunatamente
why would you ever eat octopus cold??? grilled only please!
@ItsEryk why did you look this video if you are vegetarian?
could you make this using squid
"Remove the teeth and the eyes" At that point i was ready to vomit -.-
I am a great chewer
@MsKimmova
What's cruel isn't to kill them, it's the way we do it.
Peeps I do hope you won't eat octopus anymore. Theyre extremely smart and amazing little creatures! Have you seen the video of a family who rescued a little one on the beach, then the next day the people were back and the octopus recognized them! They felt certain he waited to thank them! How intelligent is that for an octopus?
hahaha did the octopus speak to them or just use sign language with its tentacles
They are smart indeed. And delicious
Only if you replace the lemon with a lime.
Think you you sonia you are the best.kiss
Rip octopus
D.O.N.K.E.Y
@ItsEryk
Please tell me how is it cruel to EAT animals?
the narrator sounds like quinn from daria
zaffarano like an arabic name zaffaran :)
someone help me please
i couldn't even watch it.
if this is was a Japanese channel the description will include "graphic"
Good afternoon
@ItsEryk
Then don't watch.
@lostinxlation Insects = Animals? Not a match.
Not again it does nothing to the octopus. Please stop!! The three time dip
vai su ricette.giallozafferano.it/Carpaccio-di-polpo.
first again
I was waiting the cutting piece of the octubus but it didn't show. Waste of my time
You should slice it crosswise
You slice it like you would with a big salame ( it's not rocket science ) in restaurant they use a slicer the one with disc blade used to slice salami,mortadella,you know.. But she does say on the video to use a knife ciao
@MsKimmova Yeah, but we have a lot of different things to eat, rather than poor animals.
Damn. Took long enough. It requires a day to make... I'm not doing this.
I'm sorry but it is so gross I can't even finish watching. No offense to you Sonia, you are awesome, just this octopus is way to much for me to stand..
You don't show the slicing of the octopus?! That seems like kind of an important part of the preparation don't you think? Some good methodology here but come on man.
eating octopus! we are civilized, modern and in 21st century yet eating this kind of disgusting food! someday there may be a show on how to cook a human =( what else is left?
That's discusting, and cruel. :( GO VEGETARIAN!
