Hello friends and welcome back to my channel. Today I am cooking octopus and garlic. When you go to buy the octopus, you will find the fresh local or the imported frozen to make it more tender. If you buy the fresh local octopus, you need to put it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Today I have the local octopus. Let’s start the process. First I will wash it very well. I start to boil the octopus. I put half lemon and bay leaves. I will switch on the cooker. Leave it to boil and after continue to cook with lower flame for about 1 hour. I reduce the flame to the minimum. I cover and I will leave it to continue cooking. 1 hour cooking past. Now I switch off. I cover and I will leave it for another one or two hours to rest.
