Instructions

1. If necessary, let the octopus thaw, clean it and cut off the head. Put the whole octopus in a saucepan with a lid and cook without water, first on low heat and then on medium heat for about 35 - 40 minutes. Liquid escapes, which is then absorbed again. The octopus is done then.
2. If there is no more liquid in the pot well before the time, you can add a little more water. It is important not to use salt, the octopus is salty in itself!
3. For the sauce, mix the lemon juice with olive oil, garlic and pepper (do not use salt here either!) And pour over the octopus.
4. You can serve it immediately or let it cool down in the sauce.
