Steps:
- Rinse octopuses under cold water, then cover with water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot. Bring to a boil with bay leaf, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until octopuses are tender (tentacles can easily be pierced with a fork), about 45 minutes.
- Transfer octopuses to a colander with tongs, then discard cooking liquid and bay leaf. When cool enough to handle, cut off and discard heads and halve octopuses lengthwise. Cool to room temperature.
- Whisk together oil, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss octopuses with dressing and marinate, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes at room temperature.
GREEK GRILLED BABY OCTOPUS SALAD
From the 2004 Food & Wine calendar. The recipe notes say to team it with a glass of Orlando St Helga Riesling...but in my opinion it would go great with an icy cold glass of retsina :) The servings are based on an entree size.

BABY OCTOPUS AND SQUID WITH BABY BOK CHOY - SALAD
Baby bok choy comes in a variety of sizes, so the amount you use will really depend on what is available. Serving size will depend on whether you make this as a side or main dish. Red pepper sauce: go towards flavorful rather than simply merely HOT. Rice vinegar is NOT sushi vinegar, the latter has sugar. As with most of my recipes, ingredient quantities are approximate. I can see adding drained capers and/or toasted pine nuts at the end in a future rendition of this... Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- boil and then simmer the octopus and the de-stemmed shitakes in the mixture of water and wine for 15-20 minutes, or until the octopus is tender.
- Add the squid, and do a high simmer for no more than one minute. Do NOT overcook! Gets tough and nasty.
- Drain into colander and run cold water over the octopods and shrooms in the colander to stop the cooking process.
- Cut the octopus and the squid into smaller bite size pieces. Leave the shitake mushroom caps whole unless they are truly enormous.
- Place drained items into a bowl, then add everything else except bok choy and shallot.
- Marinate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Immediately before serving, layer out your leaves of bok choy, along with the shallot. Drain the seafood marinate of excess liquid, then ladle this atop the bok choy/shallot layer.
- Alternatively, chop the bok choy and shallot into smaller pieces, and put the drained seafood mixture in the same serving dish, and toss.
