Then add water and bring to the boil with a dash of white wine & vinegar and salt.
If you want, you can refine the water with spices such as onions, leeks, bay leaves, etc.
Slowly pour the pulpo into the no longer boiling water, very important! he must not boil, just let it steep in the hot water, this can take 2-3 hours depending on the size of the animal.
Then take out the pulpo / squid and test on one piece whether it is nice and soft. Slice.
For the dressing:
Crush the garlic finely, beat it with lemon juice and olive oil, add the sliced pulpo, sprinkle the finely diced parsley over it and mix the salad well.
