Hello, ladies! How are you doing? Today I'm bringing to you two oven baked octopus recipes, as I lived near to the beach for a long time one of my favorite things to eat is seafood, especially octopus. When I went home for holidays was the first thing I asked my mom to cook, she makes a delicious oven baked octopus.
It takes a little experience to cook Octopus or, at least, meet some simple basic rules. The bigger the Octopus more hardened is the octopus. If you buy fresh octopus, freeze it before cooking, so it will be much more tender. It is also important not to temper the Octopus with salt before the end of cooking, or it will harden. And, if you want to save time, use a pressure cooker to cook it. It is also good if steamed.
