Amazing pairing, fresh watermelon and fatty Ahi tuna!
Hearty tomato sauce with anchovy for meat dishes (veal) or fish.
I discovered this dish while I was in Italy in Tuscany. I was totally surprised since I expected a classic minestrone soup. Now since minestrone means vegetable soup, I wasn't far off :-) Only this was more of a stew, cooked for many hours, and a specific nutmeg taste. It also contained a lot more local vegetables. The scent brought me back to my childhood, see my other related recipe Grandma's carrots.
This grilled smoky octopus fits perfect with the potato confit and different kinds of paprika. We add some cider vinegar vinaigrette to contrast the smokyness.
