When we buy the fresh octopus, the first thing to do is clean it from stones and dirts below the tap and take off your peak, for this it is pressed on the sides of the cabin of the mouth until the beak comes out, then we will rinse tentacle by tentacle, eliminating Everything that is foreign to him and then we will remove the viscera, that is, we will turn the head and take off the viscera and wash it well again. Then we will freeze it, for a couple of days it is enough to break its hardness and the nerves it can contain. As they see without much mortification.

Ingredients to cook the octopus:
2. The day before cooking it we defrost it in the fridge, it has to be progressive and total.
3. We will put a pot with boiling water, once the boil water we introduce it once and take it out, we will see that the tentacles are screwed we repeat this twice more and finally we leave it in the water. There are those who prefer to flavor the water by placing laurel leaves, parsley and onion.
4. The octopus should be cooked in two stages. The first is to check it every 15 minutes and prick it carefully to see if it is tender. We must pay attention that if the octopus that is medium, not for this is more tender, it needs less time than the big one, but not because the meat is less hard for example for an octopus of 1 kilo and a half, with 25 minutes it is more than enough. It also serves a very useful pressure pot, in this case they will be 20 to 30 minutes once the whistle begins to sound.
5. And the second stage is when this cooking time ends, we will turn off, and we will not take it out. We will let it stand in the water 20 minutes. That is, until the water is refreshing. One happened this we will take it out and cut it, and it is better cut is with a scissors in pieces to your liking and according to how to prepare it later.
6. Once cut you can choose the recipe you want to enjoy. (I like chin, vinaigrette, stewed or simply roasted). I hope the method is useful.
