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:
- Place the octopus, tomato, French fries and fish roe dip in the wraps, fold and serve. Enjoy!
