Recipe

Large octopus tentacles2 unit(s)

Heat a pan of water until it boils
When the water is boiling, dip the octopus tentacles each at least 3 times. The idea is that it is sealed by water.
Place the octopus on a baking sheet, cover with oil. Add a head of garlic, a pearl onion and put it in the oven on very low heat. The idea is for the octopus to cook slowly in the fat until it is soft and tender.
When it's soft, remove from the oven, drain the oil (but don't discard it, save it for the future), serve with the vegetables sprinkled with parsley.
