I recommend everyone to try an exotic dish, the culinary recipe of which came from sunny Greece. Greek cuisine traditionally makes extensive use of seafood recipes. Here is an example of a recipe for native Greek food. This dish will definitely decorate any festive table.
First cut the onion into slices. Put a deep frying pan on the fire and pour a little butter and a little olive oil into it. When the oil is hot, put the onion in it. Fry it to a transparent state.
Now, wash the raisins and dried apricots and cut them in halves lengthwise. Cut the apples into small slices. The same should be done with ginger, we will cut it into thin plates.
Add all this to the onion in the pan and pass, stirring for about 5-10 minutes.
Next, let's deal with the main character. If the octopus is frozen, then we will defrost it accordingly. Thoroughly wash the octopus in cold water. It needs to be cleaned and gutted. Cut the octopus into small pieces and put it in a frying pan with onions and fruits. Add salt and pepper to the roast to taste and pour a glass of madeira into the pan and add cinnamon and ginger.
Next, stirring, simmer the dish until cooked. It is worth saying here that the time it will take for the octopuses to reach the condition depends very much on the qualities of the octopuses. They can reach readiness in 5 minutes, or they can be very dense and then they need to be stewed for more than an hour. Therefore, you need to constantly try octopus meat for readiness.
When the octopuses become soft, we serve them and serve them on the table. The octopus is ready in Greek. Enjoy your meal.
