Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs octopus
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large onions chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 green chilli peppers chopped
- 1 bunch parsley chopped
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large enough pot, boil the whole octopus in a slightly salted water. Cook it for about an hour, or until meat is soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
- Once the octopus is cooked, drain the water and let the octopus meat cool down. Once it's safe to touch, cut the octopus into small pieces. Put in a bowl and set aside.
- Chop the onions, peppers, and parsley. If you want to add other vegetables, slice them into small cubes, too.
- In the bowl with the sliced octopus, add the lemon, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure to mix all the ingredients well.
- Next, add the chopped onions, peppers, parsley, and other fresh vegetables you want to add. Toss all the ingredients in the bowl.
- Let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. It's important to let all the flavors blend before serving.
