Octopus Salad



2 lbs. PanaPesca frozen Octopus
2 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of two lemons
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 shallots, finely chopped
fresh chives
fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


Boil octopus until tender (about 60 minutes) in salted water.

Whisk together remaining ingredients, which should constitute a thick, clingy and herby dressing.

When octopus is cooked, cut into generous 1" chunks and, while warm, toss into dressing.
