Directions: |
Directions:For dressing: Combine celery, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, coarse salt, and freshly ground pepper
In a large saucepan, heat 2 TBS olive oil over high heat. Add thinly sliced garlic, 1 cup white wine, ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, and mussels. Cover and cook until they have steamed completely open, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and allow mussels to cool. Remove from shells and discard.
Prepare ice bath. In a 6-quart saucepan, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil with lemon juice and lemon half, ½ cup of wine and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes. Plunge calamari into the boiling water and cook until just opaque, 25 to 45 seconds. Remove from water with a skimmer and immediately plunge into ice bath, drain well.
Bring water back to a boil, add the octopus. Bring the water once again up to a boil, cover and simmer about 15 minutes on medium hear. Remove from water and plunge into ice bath, drain well. |
