When Mary spoke those few words, human history was forever changed. They came from a deep spiritual reservoir within the heart of a young Jewish girl who was in love with the God of her fathers - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Mary's Yes is called the Fiat: in Latin, Let it be done.. Mary's Fiat was spoken from a heart filled with pure love for God. In a Biblical context, heart is a word that means much more than the fleshy organ at the center of our chest cavity.
The dish that is most associated with the region, however, is Pulpo a la Gallega (Polbo a Feira in the Galician language). Pulpo a la gallega is a simple dish with only four ingredients: octopus, olive oil, paprika and salt.
You can find pulpo a la gallega throughout Spain, but the best is still in Galicia. Somewhat surprisingly, the Lugo region has the best reputation fot the dish, despite it having a relatively small coastline. The dish is not an overly complicated dish, but the key is cooking the octopus to tender perfection.
