The Italian Octopus Recipe You Can't Resist: Polpo alla Luciana
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 07. 2024
- This iconic Neapolitan dish made with tender octopus is a simple stew to make but with the
most remarkable flavours. Prepared using peeled tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers and fresh
parsley it is truly a symbol of the Mediterranean and an ode to fishermen who would cook their
freshly caught octopus dockside at the end of their day.

"Rabbia in Italia: turisti tedeschi rovesciano una statua dell'800 di Enrico Butti, dal valore di oltre 100mila euro nel nord Italia per un “selfie”. L'incidente è stato ripreso dalle telecamere di sorveglianza locali. In particolare, possiamo vedere uno dei giovani spingere l'opera, stimata in circa 100.000 euro, con l'ausilio di un bastone prima che si schianti contro il suolo. Il titolare della struttura ha deciso di sporgere denuncia. È finita nel peggiore dei modi, con una denuncia per vandalismo e un danno al patrimonio artistico di inestimabile valore, la festa di un gruppo di influencer tedeschi e la loro vacanza italiana. I sei turisti, tra i 25 e i 30 anni, tra cui l'influencer tedesco Janis Danner, soggiornavano a Villa Alceo a Viggiù, nell'alto varesino. Lunedì scorso si sono recati nel pittoresco cortile della villa per scattare qualche “selfie”. Due di loro sono saliti nella fontana per posare con la “Domina”, opera realizzata dall'artista italiano Enrico Butti. I filmati di sorveglianza mostrano come i due uomini sembrano abbracciare la statua di 1,70 m mentre un altro la fa cadere con un bastone. I due giovani nella fontana poi perdono l'equilibrio prima di cadere, portando con sé la Domina. Il proprietario del lussuoso B&B di Viggiù, che ha immediatamente denunciato l'accaduto ai carabinieri vorrebbe fare pubblicamente i nomi dei vandali, tutti registrati all'arrivo e ripresi dalle telecamere di sicurezza, ma preferisce per ora soprassedere, nella speranza che sia possibile una forma di conciliazione per risarcire il danno. Ecco il video che diventato rapidamente virale sul Web, sta suscitando grande emozione in Italia" 😱😢
Amazing recipe.
my nona would smack you for not cooking the head and no wine lol
I'm on a low-carb diet, this looks perfect for tonight!
Awesome! This incredibly easy to make, and I’m sure you would LOVE the end result 😋 please try making it and let me know how it goes!
ci faci my frend
Hi Vincenzo, greetings from Munich in Germany! I tried so many recipes from your channel, yesterday pasta nera with seafood. You really woke-up my desire for classy and original Italian food. You passion for your country, its culture and its food is wonderful to feel in any of your videos! Carry on with that and don't think about US pseudo cooks and TikTok stars! You are my star!
Now it's time for preparing the dough for tonights lasagna bolognese.
Ciao from Munich! 🇩🇪🇮🇹 Your kind words warm my heart. Grazie mille for your support and for embracing the essence of authentic Italian cuisine. Buonissimo, pasta nera with seafood sounds divine! Enjoy crafting a delightful lasagna bolognese - your passion shines through! Buon appetito! 🍝👨🍳🌟
I remember watching your first video. How time flies.
The one thing I like about your channel is that I learn about new foods that I’m not familiar with, I love it!
Time does fly, doesn't it? 📺✨ It's great to hear that you're discovering new foods through the channel. Exploring new flavors is a delicious journey! Keep enjoying the culinary exploration. 🍽️🌟
A true "madonna santa"!! from Chicago.
Applause and standing ovation!
Beautiful/Bellissimo!!
Grazie mille! 🙏👏 Sending love and appreciation all the way to Chicago! 🇺🇸🇮🇹❤️😊
Watching you from Russia. You have discovered real Italian cuisine for me, thank you ❤!!

Yes, indeed, chef, this is the one I’ve been waiting for. One of the greatest benefits of living in New York City, for me, is the ready availability of fresh seafood. The Fulton Fish Market is perhaps the most well known. It’s kind of like Zabar’s Market as a showplace for exotic food, which is definitely cool, but I actually favor the smaller fish markets in Chinatown.
Absolutely, NYC's food scene is a treasure! 🍽️🗽 Fresh seafood and diverse markets make culinary adventures even more exciting. Enjoy the flavors of the city! 🌆🦐🐟
Thank you Vincenzo 👍🏻 to many more success and delicious recipes 😊
Appreciate the support! 🙌🏻 Thrilled to share the joy of Italian cuisine with you. Cheers to a flavorful journey ahead! 🇮🇹🍽️
Watching from London, this dish looks amazing. I love octopus but have never cooked one because was not sure how to approach it :) This recipe looks simple and easy to follow, can't wait to try it.

Thank you for the kind words! 🐙🍝 Your creative suggestions sound delightful. Italian cuisine always welcomes a touch of personal flair. Enjoy the flavors! 🇮🇹😊
Vincenzo, can I please make a recipe request? I'm from Scotland and recently visited Italy (Naples, Montepertuso, Positano, Amalfi Coast in general) and fell madly in love with one particular dish: GENOVESE. In one week I ended up consuming this three times, at three different restaurants, all of which were incredible and varied in the most subtle but amazing ways. The sweetness is maddening and I feel it's one of those one-of-a-kind recipes. I've been making it at home since I returned from Italy, but it would make my year to see how YOU would tackle this dish, as it is noticeably absent from your channel. I'm sure you can show us the 'right way' to do the Genovese. Thank you 😁
Absolutely, mate! 🍝🏴🇮🇹 Your Genovese craving caught my attention. Let's uncover the enchanting sweetness together - stay tuned! 😄👨🍳🌟
Simple, uncomplicated, and deeelicious! Just as great food should be and that bread! Thank you, I shall make this soon. Oh and I'm in Adelaide Australia.
Absolutely, simplicity often brings out the best flavors! 🍞👌 Delighted you're excited to try it. From Italy to Adelaide, enjoy the delightful journey of creating and savoring wonderful food. Buon appetito! 🍝🇮🇹🇦🇺
Watching you from Ukraine. And I can say that I absolutely love seafood. Once I've tried a delicious octopus dish in Greece, but I was always afraid to cook octopus myself, because it's expensive and sometimes hard to get in my country. But I will definitely try to make this one! Thank you Vincenzo for sharing the authentic recipes of your country with us! ☺️
One question about using frozen octopus: do you have to defrost it first?
Watching from Toronto. I like your video and made the vongole pasta, it was so delicious! Thank you
Hello from Italy to Toronto! 🇮🇹👋 Delighted you enjoyed the vongole pasta. Your culinary success fuels my passion. Keep exploring and savoring those authentic Italian flavors! 🍝🍷🇨🇦
I'll be making this soon...Love octopi.
Looks great Chef!
Thank you! 👨🍳🍽️ I'm delighted you like it. Happy cooking and enjoy the delicious flavors! Buon appetito! 🇮🇹😊
YUM!! 😋 Octopus can be so decadent but the sauce in this recipe brings it over the top! 🤤 I'm salivating from a suburb of Chicago, and can't wait to find some octopus...
Oh wow thank you my friend, happy to hear that! This recipe is an absolute must try, I’m sure you would fall in love with it!

This looks delicious my friend keep inspiring
Thank you, my friend! 🙌👨🍳 I'm glad to inspire your culinary adventures. Keep exploring new flavors and creating delicious dishes. Buon appetito and happy cooking! 🍝🔥😊
I have never eaten octopus before, but your recipe looks very delicious. I live in the part of the USA that finding good fresh octopus, could be difficult to find, but the next time I go to visit my sister, I will look for some good fresh octopus, and make this recipe! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe! 😊
Cooking with octopus can be a unique and delightful culinary adventure. While finding fresh octopus might be a bit challenging, it's wonderful that you're planning to look for it during your visit to your sister. Using fresh ingredients definitely makes a difference in the flavors of the dish.
Hardest part of making it is tenderness. I’ve had it quite a bit from super chewey to melt in your mouth. My favorite is Italian or ceviche style
Yummy and delicious recipe ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 Exploring authentic Italian flavors is my passion. Stay tuned for more mouthwatering recipes! 🇮🇹🍝
Greetings from Poland!
I'm on vacation in Sardegna and I will Cook it.
Greetings from afar! 🌍🇵🇱 How wonderful to be in Sardegna and enjoy cooking. Embrace the culinary adventure and savor every moment. Buon viaggio e buon appetito in Sardegna! 🍝🇮🇹🏖️
Ah, the amazing feeling when you wake up to a video of your favourite seafood. This looks seriously amazing, always a must when I'm in Greece. However, very difficult to find in Sweden (although a sea country), but I'll have to dig deeper to find it.
But tell me, please, is 45 minutes enough to really make it tender and soft?
Hello there! 🦑😊 Glad you enjoyed the video! It can depend on the size and cooking method, but 45 minutes should make it tender. Happy cooking! 👨🍳👍
in Korea, we boil octopus for 10 to 30 minutes
Octopus is my favorite food as well. Hands down. I could never make it tender (I probably experimented at least a hundred times) by just boiling or simmering. Then I got a pressure cooker and after that it was trivial.
PS du kan fråga i fiskdisken på vilken svensk butik som helst att ta in (åttaarmad) bläckfisk, det är inga konstigheter för dom att ta in.
This is easy. Very nice
Glad you found it easy and enjoyable! 🙌🏼 Simple yet authentic Italian flavors are the heart of Vincenzo's Plate. Stay tuned for more delightful recipes! 🇮🇹👨🍳

Hello from Italy to Ohio! 🇮🇹🇺🇸 Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm glad you enjoyed the octopus recipe. Keep cooking with passion and savoring the delicious results. Buon appetito, my friend! 🍝👨🍳❤️
Nobody cooks octopus as tender as the Portuguese, but i am about to try this recipe! Cant wait to try it!
Cooking Octopus and Squid properly is very hard. It's easy to make rubber.
The way your knife went through that piece of Octopus made me smile. Bravo.
Edit: And yes, Oregon.
I had Greek neighbour here in Melbourne whose garage would have smoke pour out of it every Saturday night. Then you'd smell the lamb cooking. I had a big fig tree in the back yard, and they'd steal all the figs they could reach. Mother and Grandmother would hoik those things down with umbrellas and walking sticks, and repay us with Baklava and all manner of mediterannean pastries, so it wasn't really stealing.
Sometimes it sounded like someone was practicing tennis in that garage. A Greek Doctor I used to work with explained it to me. The man was throwing an octopus at the wall to tenderise it. I took a sneak peak and sure enough, bloke is hurling a cephalopod twice this size at the old red brick garage wall. Then, the smokey garage happened. Lots of Rebetika that night. Voices, cars in the street. Monaros, Valiants. Long time ago. Guess it was a big deal. Miss those times.
@@professornuke7562 Greek cooking is amazing. And your story was like putting checkmarks on a list of why that is true.
Vincenzo, I'm sure you have a lamb recipe that will evoke the memories.
Thank you for your kind words! 🙏🐙 Cooking octopus and squid can be a challenge, but with the right technique, you can achieve tender perfection. I'm glad the knife work brought a smile to your face! Keep experimenting and enjoying the process. Cheers to delicious results! 👨🍳🍽️👍🌲
Congratulations Vincenzo!!!! Another member del “Piatto!” So incredibile. 😅🎉
Thank you so much! 🙏🇮🇹 Thrilled to have you as part of the "Piatto" journey. Your support means a lot! 😄🍝👨🍳
Hola Vincenzo, greetings from Allentown Pennsylvania. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing you knowledge
My pleasure! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the Polpo alla Luciana recipe. I hope you'll give this a try soon, it's tender and the flavours are out of this world! Enjoy, my friend.
That is an absolutely beautiful dish, Chef Vincenzo!! 😋 😋 I'm in Washington, DC, USA
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙌👨🍳 I'm glad you liked the dish. Enjoy exploring the flavors of Italy, even from Washington, DC! Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍝😊
Thank you, Vincenzo, congrats again for your newborn. In Greece we have a similar recipe, the only difference is that we add a little red wine to the sauce along with a bay leave and a cinnamon stick.
Just got my ingredients to make this fabulous dish!
I love octopus, I'm going to make this soon!
Fantastic choice! 🐙👨🍳 Embrace the joy of cooking and savoring octopus with this delicious recipe. Buon appetito and happy cooking! 🍝🇮🇹😊
i’m from the netherlands.
wow this dish looks amazing,i really have to make it some day😋
i still can remember the italian seafood salad i had when i was in sardinia,also with octopus which was very delicious😁
It's so good! How wonderful that you have fond memories of the Italian seafood salad from your time in Sardinia! Seafood dishes in Italy can be truly exquisite, and the combination of octopus and other fresh ingredients makes for a delicious and memorable culinary experience.
Beautiful jews from the octopus 😂
I really like this recipe, it's so inspiring. I like octopus and I love tomato sauce but in Croatia we never do it this way as much as I know but from now I do!
Thrilled to hear you're inspired! 🐙🍅 Cooking traditions evolve, and it's wonderful to explore new flavors. Enjoy your culinary journey! 🇮🇹🇭🇷
Here, South Korean we eat octopus too! very delicate ingredient, hard to get rid of sticky stuff
we use flour and rock salt to clean octopus
this recipe looks fantastic! can't wait to go market to buy fresh octopus this weekend
We describe the taste of octopus as a light yet subtle sweetness.
Hey there, South Korean friend! 🇰🇷 So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for the tip on cleaning octopus with flour and salt. Buon appetito! 🐙👨🍳
Hi I catch my own octopus where I live in Sydney Australia. Am Greek heritage but this recipe beats the Greek recipe. Beautiful. I toast cauliflower and make a bread type with it and eat it with it.
A correction....octopus can often have a rubbery texture if left in sauce to saute...that is why most Chefs prefer to pan sear or grill the Octopus, remove, and cook sauce separately...
Thanks for the valuable insight! 🐙👨🍳 Pan searing or grilling octopus separately does ensure a tender texture. Your expertise adds a delicious twist to the cooking process. Keep creating exceptional dishes! 🍽️🔥🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplatewhat kind of dumb NPC answer is that? So your method makes the octopus rubbery?
looks delicious. love octopus
Absolutely, octopus is a gem in Italian cuisine! 🐙🇮🇹 Delighted you're loving the flavors. Stay tuned for more tempting dishes! 🍽️👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate i will!
Providence, it looks amazing 👏 🤩
It really is! I hope you'll try this recipe out soon!
That looks really good ive never tried octopus before looks like im missing out
delicious! @Vincenzo would love to see the classic "pasta al forno"! we do it with pipe rigate, muti, ham, creme fraiche and some emental on top!
Sounds delicious! 😋🍝 Pasta al forno is a classic comfort dish. Your version with pipe rigate, muti, ham, creme fraiche, and emental cheese sounds divine! Keep enjoying the wonderful world of Italian cuisine with your own creative twists. Buon appetito! 👨🍳🇮🇹🧀
Have never been a fan of octopus, too rubbery and flavorless, but good job with the recipe 😁 Was a little shocked though with the lack of Pecorino cheese 😂😂
Thanks for giving it a try! 🐙😊 Octopus can be an acquired taste. As for Pecorino, feel free to add it! 🧀🇮🇹 Keep experimenting! 👨🍳😄
Love seafood so much might be because I’m from Portugal lol.
Seafood is just too good! How can anyone not love it? Ahaha have you ever tried this recipe?
@@vincenzosplate agree, haven’t tried it but 100% willing to try 👌🏼

I would suggest paccheri!
Watching from Canada! 🇨🇦🍁
One word YUM!
Absolutely, right? 😄👌 One word says it all - YUM indeed! Delighted you're tempted by the flavors. Enjoy the delicious journey! 🍝👨🍳🇮🇹
Hi Vincenzo, i love your videos and have learnt a lot of good pasta recipes from you, so thanks in advance! I have a question about this video. Why not boil the octopus separately and then add it to the sauce? I'm just curious about why we cook it in the pan instead of boiling it, cause in Spain we tend to boil it in a cooking pot. Maybe it absorbs more flavours from the sauce when it cooks? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! 🍝🐙 Great question. Cooking octopus in the sauce infuses flavors deeply. Traditional methods vary, but pan-searing adds a unique touch. Buon appetito! 😄👨🍳🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplate thanks for the answer! I hope I can try this dish sometime soon then!
Yummy! Yummy!
Absolutely delicious! 😋👨🍳🍝 Glad you're excited about the flavors. Enjoy the culinary journey!

Nooooo come oooon!!! Haven´t you seen My Octopus Teacher from 2020, Vincenzo? How can u do this?
@vincenzosplate Please tell me... If I don't have access to fresh Octopi... but have frozen cooked tentacles, can I still follow the recipe? Outside of cooking the Octopi of course.
No doubt! I will definitely be able to resist this ;-)
Haha! Stay tuned for more temptations! 😉🇮🇹
No doubt there either Vincenzo. I will definitely stay tuned. You have improved my Italian cooking so much! I love your channel, your humor, tips and tricks. It's a perfect culinary combination of cooking for body and soul. You have actually become an "expression" in my kitchen. When my kids are asking what's for dinner and I reply we will be having a "Plate of Vincenzo" they are always looking forward to dinnertime 🥰 So a huge thanks for all your work and sharing your knowledge and recepies with us.
Love octopus! This is a great cook.
Learned to eat and catch octopus in Spain. It seems sticking your arm between rocks to untie your sail boat is enough to have an octopus latch on to it. One does need some help getting it off. Tasted great!

Thanks for sharing your octopus adventure! It's amazing how food connects us to memories. Sending Italian flavors to Holland! 🇳🇱🦑🇮🇹

Ive eaten calamari but never octopus, in fact i recently ordered fried calamari for my table, my mother and daughter left me one small piece , that octopus looked delicious , rome new york
Hello from Italy to Rome, New York! 🇮🇹🇺🇸 Octopus can be a delightful culinary adventure. If you enjoy calamari, you might find octopus to be equally delicious when cooked tenderly. Exploring new flavors is always a treat. Buon appetito and happy tasting! 🐙🍝👨🍳
This looks so good. I love seafood, especially squid and prawns, however I never see octopus for sale here in England
Try morissons or a fresh seafood market stall on the coast somewhere
That's where i have gotten octopus before
Seafood lovers unite! 🦑🦐 Octopus might be a rare find, but if you spot it, definitely give it a try. Meanwhile, keep enjoying those squid and prawns in England! 🇬🇧🐟🍤
Thank you bro, I am trying it righ now, I am from Egypt but I live next to Sicily, I live in Malta
You're welcome! How wonderful to live so close to Sicily in Malta. Enjoy your culinary adventure and savor the flavors of your delicious creation. Buon appetito! 🍝👨🍳🇮🇹

Canada, very southern Canada and I've been to Naples. The food was fantastic. This I have to make. If I can find fresh octopus in the area. I doubt it unfortunately.
Oh, Canada's beauty and Naples' cuisine - what a combo! 🇨🇦🇮🇹 Fresh octopus can be a challenge, but frozen can work too. Keep that Neapolitan spirit alive in your kitchen! 🐙👨🍳🍝

G'day from Italy to Sydney! 🇮🇹🇦🇺 Off to the fish market? That's the spirit! Enjoy your seafood adventure and savor the flavors of Italy Down Under. 🐟🦑👨🍳
I’ll be making this tomorrow night. I’ll let you know how it comes out.
sounds like a fantastic plan, do let me know how it goes and I hope you'll achieve a perfectly tender octopus for your Polpo alla Luciana dish! Happy cooking.
Greetings and Merry Christmas from northern New Jersey. My dish came out quite well. The octopus was nice and tender and we enjoyed the sauce. My sauce wasn’t as thick as yours but I’ll make some adjustments next time to get the desired thickness.
Next time I’m also going to add some shrimp and nicely seared scallops to the end of the cooking process. I’ll keep you posted.
Until then thanks for the great videos.
One of the earliest things I learned in cooking was to crush the canned whole tomatoes by hand...and the tomatoes then decide that they want to fly! and land on anything white!
Haha, the flying tomato struggle is real! 🍅🙈 A hands-on approach can be quite adventurous. Here's to messy yet delicious cooking! 😄👨🍳🍝
Denmark 🇩🇰 and Will make this dish when in Spain in a couple of weeks
Octopus is so underutilized. I make Insalata di Polpo all summer. It’s so refreshing and flavorful. It’s so versatile!

Oh my my.... 😊
This is heaven on a plate 😋 you absolutely must try this recipe!!
Hi Vincenzo, yummi recipe ! QUESTION! > I usually boil octopus before frying it (like 50 mins for 1 kg of octopus)... THis way I always get it very tender. I have never started from frying octopus like you did. Is it better to fry it from the start??? Wouldnt it make the octopus tougher and chewy? thanks for your explanation
When it comes to octopus, both boiling and frying can yield fantastic results. Frying from the start can give it a beautiful texture and a crispy exterior, but the key is not to overcook it. With the right technique, you can achieve a perfect balance-tender on the inside and golden crisp on the outside.
