Octopus pastry meal

Would you like a piece of this octopus pie made with Thermomix? Well, I'll explain to you in a moment how you can do it.

We will cook the octopus ourselves (if you have not tried it yet, look at the preparation, which with the pressure cooker is very simple and will serve you for many other dishes). That octopus already cooked, along with the onion and some other little thing that I detail now, it will be the filling of our pie.

The ingredients of the You may be surprised by its simplicity. It contains, among other things, pastry flour and chemical yeast, that is, ingredients similar to those we use to make sponge cakes. Of course, you can use another dough. A simple option would be to use a couple of ready-made puff pastry sheets. And another possibility would be to use the mass of the traditional pie that we showed you a little over a year ago.

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1 not very large octopus that we will have previously cooked with water, 1 bottle of beer (we can also use white wine), salt and 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 500 g onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 70 g of extra virgin olive oil
  • Some threads of saffron (10-12)
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the mass:

  • 400 g of pastry flour
  • 180 g butter at room temperature
  • 70 g of water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of chemical yeast

To decorate:

  • 1 beaten egg

Preparation

  1. We start the recipe by cooking our octopus. Use the method that you like the most, I leave you the steps that I have followed. As it was a frozen octopus, I let it thaw the night before. We put water, beer, salt and bay leaf in the pressure cooker. When it is boiling, we “scare” the octopus three times (holding it with our hand, we put it in the water once and we remove it quickly, as if we were making it a aguadilla). When we have done it three times, we leave it in the water and close the pot. We will cook it under pressure for approximately 10 minutes. We take it out of the water and chop it up.

  2. Now we get fully into making the pie.

  3. To make the filling, we put the garlic in the glass and program 5 seconds, speed 7. Now we add the onion and the pepper. We program 4 seconds, speed 4.

  4. We add the oil, saffron and salt. We program 15 minutes, varoma temperature, left turn, spoon speed. We pour it into a bowl and let it cool.

  5. Now we will prepare the dough. To do this, we put all the ingredients of the dough in the glass following the order of the list (flour, butter, water, egg, salt and yeast). We program 15 seconds, speed 6. We take out the dough and divide it into two parts.

  6. We turn the oven 180º and while it is heating up we are going to make our pie.

  7. With the help of a rolling pin, we spread a part of the dough on a sheet of greaseproof paper and helping ourselves with a little flour so that it does not stick to us.

  8. Once stretched, we place that dough -with the baking paper- on the tray or source in which we are going to bake it. You can take the baking paper directly and that way it does not tear.

  9. We overturn the filling and place the octopus already cooked and chopped on top.

  10. We spread the other half of the dough and cover with it what we had made before. Brush the entire surface with egg and prick that top plate in several places, with the help of a fork.

  11. We bake our empanada for approximately 30 minutes.
