Seeing this 8-armed mollusc hung to dry like laundry on an outdoor clothesline is nothing new for those who’ve spent time in the Greek islands. But it’s a common sight in Croatia, too, where this delicacy occupies a prominent place in the country’s coastal Dalmatian cuisine. That’s where we went for inspiration for this recipe: The tentacles are braised until tender, then thrown in the pan for that crisp outer char. We slice it and serve it with a light, fresh salad featuring Mediterranean mainstays like parsley, capers, onion and olive oil.
