Octopus BOGOF


Octopus Agua Amarga Pulpo

Originally uploaded by AndyRob

Octopus was on offer at “Buy One Get One Free” at the local Asian groceries and fish shop yesterday so I picked up two and cooked one today. I simmered the octopus in a Tom Yum broth then added it to a nice sticky tomato sauce with chunks of parsnips, carrots, onions and and beetroot. Served with potato cooked with green peppers.

They also tried to make me buy three sacks of potatoes for the price of four tomatoes but I only wanted the one and stuck to my guns.

Is it okif I publish the picture, in a posting on Swedish prince Bernadotte who designed the bench thatt is on the Homemaker plate?

  2. Hi Andy

    I’m a sucker for buy one get one free, not sure if I would have been tempted by the Octopus deal though!

    Never tried Octopus soup so one day if there’s a BOGOF deal down at the harbour I may just be tempted to try out your recipe.

    Cheers for sharing,
    Sue
