Baby Octopus Spiedini with Beet Green Salad Preparation

Preheat barbecue or grill. Place octopus in 4 quarts cool water and add 1 wine cork. Bring to boil and lower heat to low boil. Cook 25 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse and allow to cool. In a mixing bowl, stir together orange zest, almonds, 2 tablespoons olive oil, crushed red pepper and fennel leaves. Add cooled octopus and let stand 25 minutes until coals are hot and ready. Thread octopus evenly on to 4 skewers and place over coals. Cook until crispy and slightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, toss beet greens with orange juice and remaining oil and season with sea salt. Divide greens among 4 plates and place one speidino over each pile. Drizzle with remaining marinade and serve. Yield: 4 servings Recipe By : MOLTO MARIO Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #284 Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 20:28:21 -0500 (EST) From: Sue
