Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Ourite is the Mauritian Creole word for octopus, and the lagoon around the island is full of it. Salade d'ourite is boiled octopus cut small and tossed cold with onion, tomato, herbs, lemon and a little ginger or chilli. It is served chilled as a starter or a side to a rice meal, and it is a fixture at beach picnics and Sunday tables. Réunion makes the same salad and calls the octopus zourite.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
