Preparation of Octopus

1

Clean the Octopus

Rinse the octopus under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Remove the beak and any residual innards if necessary.

Cook the Octopus

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, remove the octopus from the pot and let it cool.

Making the Marinade

Prepare the Marinade

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and paprika. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add Vinegar and Vegetables

Pour in the white wine vinegar and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add sliced onion, carrot, and red bell pepper. Season with salt and stir well.

Combining Ingredients

Combine Octopus and Marinade

Once the octopus is cool, slice it into bite-sized pieces. Add the octopus to the saucepan with the marinade and vegetables, stirring to combine everything well.

6

Marinate the Dish

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the octopus marinate for at least 2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate overnight for better flavor.
