Baked Octopus Recipe By Tasty Recipes

EASY BAKED MEDITERRANEAN OCTOPUS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C)
• 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)
• 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.
• 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.
• Unwrap, take the octopus out of the foil and cut into pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and some balsamic and serve.Eat!
