Ingredients
 
 

For the octopus:

  • 1.5 kg octopus
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 fennel sliced
  • 1 celery stick finely chopped
  • 1 Florina pepper cut into cubes
  • 1 carrot cut into thin slices
  • ½ tbsp peppercorns

For the souvlaki:

  • 4 souvlaki wraps
  • 1 tomato cut into thin vertical slices
  • ½ onion cut into thin vertical slices
  • 100 g fish roe dip (taramosalata) (mayonnaise works also great)

To serve (optional):

  • French fries

Instructions
 

For the octopus:

  • In a deep pot, add a little olive oil, the onion, sliced fennel, celery, carrot slices, Florina pepper, bay leaves and pepper.
  • Arrange the octopus evenly over the vegetables, ensuring that the tentacles and head are separated.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and cover with the lid and boil for about 1 hour, until the octopus is soft.
  • Check with the knife to see if it is ready after 1 hour (it must be soft). When ready, remove from heat and allow to cool.

Souvlaki wrap:

  • Place a pan over medium heat and toast the wraps. As soon as they are ready, set them aside.
  • Skewer the tentacles and grill them for 1 to 2 minutes to maintain their shape.

To serve:
