The Sochantre style octopus is a recipe that was unveiled by Manuel María Puga y Parga, known as Picadillo, in his book La cocina práctica (1905).
According to him, Picadillo was a friend of the sochantre of the Collegiate Church of A Coruña. A sochantre is, for those who do not know it, the director of the choir during the services. Well, it seems that this good priest cooked wonderfully and this was one of his recipes. With it he delighted Mr. Puga during an invitation to his house and he included it in his book.
