Zanzibar : Lime Coconut Octopus with Star Anise
#SustainableTourism #IndianOcean #zanzibar
This dish is my take on the Zanzibari staple Pweza wa nazi, or ‘Octopus in Coconut.’ Given that octopus is something that can be readily fished by hand from the inter-tidal rock pools that fringe the coast at low tide, it is an ingredient that the locals are expert in dealing with. The preferred tenderisation method on Zanzibar’s shores involves beating the fresh octopus with a heavy club, and while this might be maximally effective, clubbing is not an option in a small urban kitchen, so I had to experiment with alternative methodologies.
