How to cook octopus to perfection
For these octopus skewers I used an already cooked octopus. If you want to start with fresh (or defrosted) octopus, follow my tried and tested recipe.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, immerse the octopus with a single movement and, once it starts boiling again, cook for about 30 minutes.
- Before turning off, test with a fork to check the consistency: the exact cooking time depends on its size, I usually never exceed 800/900 g.
- At this point, let the octopus cool in its cooking water in a covered pan. This is the step that will guarantee the softness of the octopus, without the use of the legendary cork.
- Once completely cooled, you can proceed with your favorite recipe.
