How to Prepare Octopus
Preparing octopus begins with tenderising to ensure a perfect texture. If raw, gently pound it with a mallet or freeze it to soften the flesh. Rinse thoroughly to remove any debris. For fresh octopus, remove the beak and clean out the head cavity. Parboil before further cooking to ensure tenderness. Pre-cooked octopus requires minimal prep, saving you time without compromising quality.
How to Cook Octopus
Octopus is a versatile ingredient that shines in many cooking methods. Simmering in water or broth further tenderises the flesh, perfect for stews or salads. For grilling, marinate the tentacles, then cook over high heat for a smoky flavour and charred edges. Braising with olive oil, garlic, and herbs infuses it with a Mediterranean flair, while quick sautéing or frying yields crispy, flavourful bites. Always ensure the meat is tender and flavourful for the best results.
