Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias 1/2 c Olive oil
1 Octopus (about 1 kg) 1/2 c Vinegar
1 Garlic clove; crushed Salt pepper to taste

Serves: 6-8 Cooking time: 45-60 minutes

To clean octopus, pull of tentacles, remove intestines and ink sac. Cut
out eyes and beak. Remove skin and rinse well. Place head and tentacles
in a pan over low heat until it turns deep pink and is tender (about 45 to
60 minutes). Drain and when cool enough to handle strip off suckers from
tentacles if desired. Cut head and tentacles into bite-sized pieces and
place in a bowl. Add garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt if necessary and
pepper to taste. Mix well, cover and leave to marinate in refrigerator for
12 hours before using. Stir occasionally.

To serve, lift out of marinade, pile onto a dish, garnish with lemon wedges
and parsley. Supply cocktail picks for your guests' convenience.
