Cooking
I got to cut octopus, or rather part of it, pulled in 500 g: the tentacles and the head cap. It's for the best, because buying a whole octopus, you will have circular motion of the knife cut out his eyes and then the beak. You will need to "flush his head", clean content. For me, personally, it's too...
To prepare the marinade: in water, put sliced into quarters lemon, add a glass of white wine, pepper, Bay leaf. Do not add salt! I after 10 minutes, the Bay leaf out.
Rinse the octopus under running water, trying to wash off the slime and sand. Once the water with spices to boil three times to lower it in boiling water for 10 seconds and remove.
Then put in a pot, the water should cover the octopus, minimize heat and simmer 25-30 minutes for every 500 grams of weight. Add salt at the end of cooking.
After 25 minutes check with a fork. It should be easy to get. If the meat is already tender, turn off the stove, cover the pan with a lid and allow the octopus to steep and slightly cool in the marinade.
After 20 minutes remove. Cut the lining the skin. To give a little to cool, but if you pour a marinade - marinate still warm. This purpose can again be dipped in boiling water for 1 minute.
At this time, see what herbs you can use for sauce. This is my sage.
And this is thyme. Still, of course, parsley.
Prepare the sauce-marinade: olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, salt, pepper and chopped herbs.
Cut the ends of the smaller tentacles.
And then equally and thickened parts. All put in marinade and put in refrigerator for a couple of hours, and at night.
