Okay, so I made this dish tonight and it was amazing! My 9 year old son thinks I'm a superstar. He devoured his share and begged for more. It just took a little extra time to cook it because I didn't realize you had to start the pot on high and then bring it down low to a simmer. I watched the video many times to get an idea of how it should look when its done cooking. Next time I'll be cooking like a pro, lol. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!
Wow, Unbelievable and cooked to perfection. I made it today. The best tasting octopus I ever ate. I used a 4 lbs. Spanish octopus but cooked it for an hour not more. Amazing results I have to say. Thank you very much for sharing. Paul from South Florida in USA.
This is my third time making it. And I've never known how to make octopus before. Now I've memorised the recipe. Thank you so very much! 👍👍👍 Warning: .. it's addictive.
Thank you! I really enjoyed cooking this earlier today. I’ve always been tempted to try my hand at octopus but never had the courage to attempt till today. I literally watched four or five different videos before settling on yours, as it was simple, straightforward and your positivity and enthusiasm are simply contagious. I also learned a new way to do baked potatoes! I only did one tweak and decided to slow cook the octopus in the oven at 120c for two hours instead of cooking on the stove. Thanks again, this was just the pick me up I needed 🐙❤🌟
Please, please, do more videos about cooking Portuguese dishes! This recipe is the greatest on TH-cam. Loved it so much! There are many expats in Portugal now who are unfamiliar with local fish, vegetables, herbs - would appreciate if you’ll share your knowledge. Thanks!
First let me complement you on your recipe! I made some variations only because of what was available in my pantry…. And the fact that I bought 1.6 lbs in four small octopi. I had to use half of a diced cooking onion, and I added some Bay seasoning along with a quarter tsp of red pepper flakes. Octopi were rendered tender in the pot, I used a large smoked baked potato instead of the ones you used along with a bunch of broccolini , I tossed it all with too much olive oil and used Malcom Reed’s brisket seasoning, heavy salt and pepper ! put them in the oven at 350°….. I just finished the best meal I’ve had in a very long time! Thank you for your guidance and charm in your video ! Very best JJK
I love this recipe. I make it all the time. Thank you! I make extra and chop it in 2 inch pieces and put it in pickling brine and eat it for the next week. Soooo good!
that is what im thinking of doing in glass jar but not really sure how to preserve it long, someone said i need to boil it in 50/50 water and vinegar before i add it to oil in jar or maybe just a pickling brine of sugar wine and vinegar with some pickling spice?
@@ARCSTREAMS I take two cups 50/50 white vinegar and water and put about 1 tablespoon of sugar in it and heat it just to a low boil. Then let it cool. Cut up cooked octopus into bite size chunks and put in a bowl. Pour brine over it and put in the refrigerator over night and start eating it over the next week. It taste so good and doesn’t usually make it to the end of the week.
@@deniswoodcox4240 ok but i do not like tasting too much vinegar in a brine perhaps you can improve it too by using wine and pickling spices etc but for me im trying to do it in a jar and i can not find any recipes about using 50/50 then pack in oil or brine in jars but an italian guy i know told me about this yet i am not able to find directions or recipes for it online nor what key words to search for
This is a fantastic recipe I have tried so many times. Really don't need another one. Excellent, yummilicious, life changing. Thank you so much for sharing it! ❤
Excellent recipe. Loved the taste of the octopus. I can say that it's the best tasting octopus I have had. And it was so easy to cook. Thank so much for sharing! Blessings!
Hi! Thank you for this! I can't wait to try it. One question: What are the green things in the pot after showing us the cooked octopus? I did not see you list or add green (onion?) to the pot. Than you!
Hey🤗 I added some cilantro but I forgot to mention, sorry about that. Also cook it in median heat and add some water if needed. Sending litlle kisses 😘
Beautiful! Thank you! I think I can do this. 😍 My first and only experience with octopus was at a wonderful Portuguese restaurant that quickly became our favorite but sadly closed due to recent lockdowns. I would love for them to reopen but meanwhile I want to be able to do this at home.
Hey, how are you doing? No need to ad salt But if you readily want you ad when you are eating. This way you give your guess the change to make the option. Thanks and have a great weekend🥂
I am going to try cooking style of autopus as your way. But I just only want to know detail spices name because those may not get in our country. 😁 Thank you very much. ❤
Super nice recipe. The only thing I believe is "wrong" is having so much olive oil when doing final roasting. It may be part of the recipe but I feel like throwing away too much of that oil (I do not think it's going to be re-usable after octopus)...
@@williamadolphe7921 do you really think 180 Fahrenheit is going to cook anything within a day? We’re making octopus in an hour, not beef jerky by tomorrow. Get your head out of your ass
I have made your recipe several times, but only the octopus part. I am concerned at the extreme amount of oil that you are using. but hands down with your octopus recipe. Best ever.
Ive made _grilled_ Mediterranean style Octopus... its the best! Tomorrow, im going to try this recipe. Hoping for the best. Let yal know which one wins! At least in my book.

Did u put salt?
How much temperature of water is it to simmer or boiling??? For 1 hour or? Did you put salt? When?

Did you salt the Octopus when cooking it without the water?

Where did the green stalks come from? Didn’t see them put in. Coriander? Parsley?
at what temperature did you boil the octopus for 1 hour on the stove?
@@MaziMay66 I don’t know but it worked. I don’t understand why more people don’t suggest this way of cooking tough Octopus.
@@MaziMay66 add some sugar n salt. The pressure cooker makes all the difference. Bon appetite.
Yeahhhhh right? I went back twice , She didn't add them in at the beginning 🤔🤔🤔
Might be cilantro?

This dish looks amazing! Where would I go to purchase an octopus here in the US?
Looks wonderful. So no salt at all except for potatoes?

Yes, no salt But you can always add a little bit when you are eating.
Hope you enjoy it! Merry Xmas

Thanks and have a great weekend🥂
@ thank you! I did it this weekend and the octopus has salt already 🤩sorry I just don’t know how to cook octopus lol
How do you cook it was it boiling water or was it simmering water? Do you have to put salt while cooking?
How high is the heat when you boil it!
Hi, Henry. I use medium low.
What do I set the stove top at for the 1 hour cooking? Thank you
Looks good- I usually grill mine. Lemon and oregano.
Fantástico !!
Obrigada 🥂
beautiful spirit i love it😍
Amazing! Thank you!
I am going to try cooking style of autopus as your way. But I just only want to know detail spices name because those may not get in our country. 😁 Thank you very much. ❤
Trying this tonight. Looks amazing. I’ll report back!
i want to try this so bad look so good
No salt when cooking the octopus?
That looks amazing. my family does and Italian version , but not as good looking as this
You didn’t add any salt while boiling it, so it will be tasteless, or if I add salt will it not tenderise?
How many people does this feed? I am so going to make this amazing looking dish and wan toknwo howmanyinmy family it will feed.
Take a shot every time she says amazing
Nice
Can I use cuttlefish for this recipe?
Gostei da tecnica,....... mas quanto tempo voce cozinhou?
Looks so delicious thank you
My mom needs this recipe.Yummy
AMAZINGLY 😋 YUMMY
Cook it yourself. You don’t need your mom to do everything for you
Delicious food, all I need some lemon juice
I made octopus with this recipe and it was delicious ❤️👍
What’s the setting for the stove top Hi Med Lo? I burnt my dish😢
Hello .. you don’t say what heat level to cook the octopus on the stovetop
180C or F temp pls..thanks
Super nice recipe. The only thing I believe is "wrong" is having so much olive oil when doing final roasting. It may be part of the recipe but I feel like throwing away too much of that oil (I do not think it's going to be re-usable after octopus)...
I'm trying this tonight!
you dont mention what temp to cook the octopus? and what green stuff you put in there parsley?
I'm looking for the temperature too
@@tabithaclifford795 just put it high to boil then simmer for as long as necessary
@@ARCSTREAMS boil? She put no water in pan! 😳
@@manuelgem449 i was not talking about what she did in the vid i was telling another commenter how to do it
You look like Alif Satar from Malaysia.. 🇲🇾
What vegetable would you serve as a side?
What was in the octopus pot half way through? Looked like parsley or something but you didn’t put that in the beginning?
What are the baking temperatures? Were these critical criteria help for legitimate reasons?
Mine was still tough. I’m going to try it in pressure cooker.
No salt ?
No. One I cooked right now tasted salty without the salt
Octopus is salty so no need to add salt
Suspirar ✨🐙🙏🏼🤤 9:13
For the potatoes you said oven at180 degrees but you didn't say if those were Celsius or Fahrenheit.
That’s pretty obvious

Celcius
How not to put water at all? Doesn't the octopus stick to the pot and burn?
It releases its own water
Is there no need to put salt while cooking octopus?
No salt. I just cooked one and when I tasted it it tasted like I had put some when I didnt.
I have made your recipe several times, but only the octopus part. I am concerned at the extreme amount of oil that you are using.
but hands down with your octopus recipe. Best ever.
Ok making this now. 35 minutes in everything is sticking to pot. Is that right?
Yummy
