    Ingredients

    • 2 frozen octopus, about 2 pounds each
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
    • 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced

    Method

    • To make Tuna Fish Cakes, start by draining the canned tuna. 
    • While the rice is cooking, prepare the eel by grilling or frying it.
    • Put the tomato paste, olives, and butter into a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth.
    • Put the oats in the blender or food processor, slightly broken up.
    • Coat the fillets with the butter mixture while grilling.
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the fish cakes.
    • Brush a large grill with oil.
    • Dip in the flour and coat each fishcake. Dip in the egg and then coat with crumbs. Repeat this process until you have 24 fishcakes. Chill the fish cakes for one hour.
    • Whisk together ¼ cup oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
    • Thoroughly tenderize octopus by bashing with a mallet or hammer. Or, if you're in a real hurry, chop it fine with a knife.
    • Stir in ¼ cup chopped parsley and enough dressing to lightly coat the octopus. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
    • Serving Suggestions: For a great appetizer, use the remaining dressing to marinate some quartered cherry tomatoes. Serve with grilled bread.
