Octopus in Garlic Sauce, Ati Manel, Portugal

Ati Manel, originally formed in 1922 by its namesake, exemplified the Portuguese tradition of freshly canned seafood through the late 1950s. When Luís Mendonça, already a successful artist, discovered his great-grandfather’s weathered canning relics more than 60 years after the business passed with Manel into family lore, he was inspired to resurrect the legacy. 

More garlic-infused olive oil than emulsified sauce, this tin of sweet, small, and tender tentacles is a shining example of octopus done extra right.

Modeling their recipe after Luís Mendonça’s great-grandpa’s original version, the can’s contents are a culinary window into conserva’s colorful past. Like all things octopus, crackers and pickled shallots will do them wonders, as will warming them up and tossing them (oil and all) with steamed baby potatoes and whole manzanilla olives.
