Marta – muchas gracias para su receta y consejo en el cocinar del pulpo gallego! su es la experta!

Tina – glad we could help, and very jealous you’re eating octopus. I mean, we eat it, but want to eat it more often. In fact, it’s just a pity there are only three mealtimes a day.

WORC/Jesse – the “runs” were an unfortunate occurence, but i was sure it was the lack of hygiene and not that pulpo made me feel that way, and making it myself removed any remaining doubt!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

After reading your article ages ago, I finally made octopus (using your method) earlier this week. I had only ever cooked it like squid (flash fried or grilled on high heat for a short period of time) with limited success. Boiling it for an hour and a half totally changed everything. The taste was richer, the texture was TO DIE FOR, and I will never go back.

That looks fabulous — I can’t wait to visit Spain some day. The baby came before we got to visit, now we just need to wait a few years until she’s old enough to go.

vinegar in the water? that’s new!! I put no vinegar, no onion, no bay leaf… it goes just fine with loads of salt (sea water it is said to be the best to boil it)

the copper coin is ok, although better is to use a copper pot…. I use neither (blush)

here is how we do it

I have never cooked a “‘pus”, and only eaten it once before as some extremely rubbery sushi, so I may just have to give this a try.

I love octopus, one of my favorite foods. And, ironically, it’s one of the few things I’ve never cooked myself. Looks like I might have to.

god that looks good, but there is no one i know who would eat it (aside from me). admittedly, those tentacles are scary.

I am addicted to this tapa. It’s always the first thing I order in a Spanish restaurant. Thanks for the interesting read!
