The main character in this dish is the octopus, but, oddly enough, it was not the octopus that inspired the recipe, but a seasonal European artichoke that Maria happened to have on hand. A good artichoke, by the way, is determined by its appearance: a fresh one has dense leaves that creak slightly when pressed, and the weight is always slightly greater than expected. Moreover, the smaller the artichoke, the tastier it is.
