About Octopus with onions
Octopus with Onions, or *Polvo à Cebolada*, is a traditional dish rooted in Mediterranean and Portuguese cuisine. This flavorful dish features tender octopus simmered with caramelized onions, garlic, tomatoes, and olive oil, often accompanied by aromatic herbs like parsley or bay leaves. Rich in lean protein, octopus is a low-fat seafood option loaded with essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. The olive oil used in the recipe adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while onions provide antioxidants and compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. However, moderation is key, as some versions of the dish may include more olive oil or salt than recommended for those watching calorie or sodium intake. Paired with vegetables or whole grains, this dish offers a balanced and nutritious meal packed with Mediterranean flavors.
