Polvo a lagareiro-a classic Portuguese version of cooking octopus. Polvo-actually, an octopus. Lagareiro is a local term for a person working on the production of olive oil. Therefore, it is difficult to translate the name of the dish into any other language. At the same time, calling it “octopus in Portuguese” is quite accurate and close to the truth.
I met this wonderful dish at breakfast in China. This dish is suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ingredients can be any: pickled daikon, cabbage, garlic, onion, celery, fish or meat meatballs, squid, various sprouts, mushrooms, etc.
