2. Bring a large pot of water to boil, remember these floppy guys will firm up and set up when cooking so you want something big enough for them to “grow” in.
3. Add one tbsp olive oil, bay leaves, wine corks, 1/2 tbsp peppercorns, the large piece of lemon rind, a pinch of salt and a splash of apple cider vinegar to the poaching solution.
4. Once it’s boiling, add in the octopus. Let them boil for 40-45 minutes.

Estimated Reading Time: 7 minsCategory: AppetizerTotal Time: 1 hr1. Into a large pan, add the tentacles of the octopus, along with the red wine vinegar, the wine and bay leaves and bring to the boil. Boil with the lid on, on medium low heat, for 40-60 minutes. Do not add any water, because the octopus, will shrink and emit enough water. Be careful not to add any salt, as the octopus is salty enough and not to over-boil it, because it will get mushy. When cooked nicely, the octopus should be crunchy.
2. When done, remove the octopus from the pan and keep the juices into a bowl.
3. Into a very hot pan, add the octopus, without the juices, and color nicely for 1 minute. This will allow the octopus to get crispy on the outside.
4. Add the sliced onions and chopped tomatoes into the pan, along with 1-2 tbsps of olive oil and the garlic and stir. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring every now and again, until the onions caramelize.

2. Rinse the octopus and discard any stuff from the inner part of its hood. Remove its tooth from the center (the easiest way to do that is to cut the octopus in half. Otherwise, you can pick it out with your finger, but this may be a bit tricky)
3. Make a cross with two sheets of foil, about 1.5-2 feet each. Place a piece of baking paper on the center of the cross and place the octopus on top of it. Pour the olive oil and balsamic over the octopus, add the rest of the ingredients and wrap firmly with the foil.
4. Place on a baking tray and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Unwrap and check to see if the octopus is fork tender. If it seems a little tough, bake for 30 more minutes.
