Octopus Carpaccio - from SoloSicily's monthly newsletter

Celebrity Chef Ed BainesOctopus (Purpu in Sicilian jargon) is prepared in most Sicilian restaurants and served as a starter, presented as a whole octopus on a colourful plate or sliced into thick chucks.
Celebrity Chef Ed Baines chose a fragrant Sicilian dressing for his delicious Octopus carpaccio.

soloSicily advices to pair this starter with exquisite Planeta Chardonnay, an amazing wine produced between Menfi and Sambuca. With its delicate aromas of peach, apple, white figs, vanilla and meringue, it is suitable to pair any seafood starter.
Buon Appetito!
