(*We also recently tried a modern method to tenderize octopus, using a pressure cooker, which gave impressive results and cut cooking time almost in half. Curious? Watch here: https://youtu.be/zi-ts-c8kHY )
To cook a perfectly tenderized octopus, there are several methods used in the culinary world, but Chef Tony demonstrates his traditional and preferred technique in this episode. Once the octopus comes out (nice and tender, hopefully) then it is ready to star in almost any favorite recipe that calls for octopus, such as the salad that this one eventually became.
Let us know if there is a recipe or technique that you would like to see covered in future episodes. Ciao!
