    My mom is from Naples. She came here when she was in her 20's, she's 90 now. I made this for her a few days ago...it was pure joy watching her reaction to it, she loved it.

    Made it! OMG, thank you Alessandra!!!!❤❤ Never made octopus before and my husband had loved the one we tried about 6 years ago at Tarpon Springs Florida. Never again did we have it, we live in Argentina and here it is wildly expensive, but I wanted to surprise him for his birthday. I watched lots of tutorials and read many recipes, but I loved you cooking the grilled octopus, he adored it (and he's not easy to please, let me tell ya!). As other viewers commented the only complain was, I want more! Lol. Ale, I got hooked on many of your videos, I plan to try more recipes of yours like the almond biscotti. Keep up your charm and Italy alive!!! Love hearing your stories while you cook!! Big hugs!! ❤❤

      Thanks for clarifying the big question: how to tenderize. I've heard of so many different methods: banging it on a big rock, beating it up with a rolling pin, but your method of just boiling the heck out of it, makes sense- and lot more sanitary. Thanks for your video.

    I cook octopus quite often as it is my favourite dish. My favourite recipes with octopus are the Portuguese style salad and obviously THE monument of Spanish cuisine the pulpo a la Gallega so your recipe will now be in my repertoire !
    Something very important when you cook octopus is that consider that a good one third of it will ‘ disappear ‘ . I weighed them few times before and after boiling and always come to the same figure so it is to take into account for the quantity needed like if you need a kg of cooked octopus you will need a 1.5 kg one .
    Also as you said the European ones are really good especially the brand ‘ El Rey del pulpo ‘ , really top quality .

    The Octopus must be cooked starting from cold water. This Is fondamentale to get a "tender" result...and, when ready, It must be left into his cooking water until It returns cold...

    Great recipe! I cook it every now and again. Each time with a different twist like dash of wine or off piste herbs. Always turns out amazing. It's hard to cook bad octopus in my opinion as long as you put some heart to the whole process. Never missed adding cork though :)

    People wondering about the cork! The belief is that the cork will release enzymes that settle between the octopus’ particularly long protein chains, thereby preventing clumping and guaranteeing tender meat.
    But there is a catch: corks are treated and boiled before being used to seal a bottle due for hygienic purposes. The often quoted recommendation to use a white and not a red wine cork does not change this.

    Like it when eating out, but now I want to do it. I learned allot from this video (seeing the hands-on steps), but what's the reason for the CORK other than tradition? Second question is if it was fork tender coming out of the boiling water, how does grilling it longer not overcook it just for the sake of a "grill flavor"? These are amateur questions, but I just want to know how not to mess it up when I try it.
