Fabrizio Sepe's recipe: octopus and peppers

Ingredients for 4 people:

 1 kg octopus

½ red and ½ yellow pepper

1 clove of garlic

Extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper

White wine vinegar to taste

sugar

Laurel

Seed oil for mayonnaise

Steam the octopus for 45 minutes, let it cool in its own water.

Reduce the cooking water and cool it, with the aid of an immersion blender, whip with the addition of the seed oil and add a little red beet juice to reach the density of a mayonnaise. Place in a baby bottle.

Brown the garlic clove in a pan, add the peppers cut into squares, salt and add the vinegar and sugar and the bay leaf. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, adding a little water if necessary.
