400gpulpo tentacles I got some pre-cooked tentacles and cut them into 1 cm slices. If you want to go with fresh pulpo, you need to cook the pulpo first, for about an hour, and then add the potatoes.

Instructions
Roast the fennel and onion slices in the olive oil on medium heat until they are soft. This will take about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, fennel seeds, lemon salt and chili flakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Next add the white martini, white wine and water and stir every together. Bring to a boil.
Add the potatoes and cook them on low heat until they can be smashed with a fork.
Finally add the pulpo and the olives and let everything cook for another 5-7 minutes on low heat uncovered. You want the dish to be more like a stew rather than a soup.
