Octopus in Garlic Sauce, Ati Manel, Portugal
Ati Manel, originally formed in 1922 by its namesake, exemplified the Portuguese tradition of freshly canned seafood through the late 1950s. When Luís Mendonça, already a successful artist, discovered his great-grandfather’s weathered canning relics more than 60 years after the business passed with Manel into family lore, he was inspired to resurrect the legacy.
Modeling their recipe after Luís Mendonça’s great-grandpa’s original version, the can’s contents are a culinary window into conserva’s colorful past. Like all things octopus, crackers and pickled shallots will do them wonders, as will warming them up and tossing them (oil and all) with steamed baby potatoes and whole manzanilla olives.
TASTING: sweet, buttery, firm
PAIRING: dry white wines, bloody Mary, Guindilla peppers, crisp rosé
INGREDIENTS: Octopus, Sunflower Oil, Garlic, Salt
CAUGHT IN: Galicia
