COOKBOOK: Fast Seafood - Women’s Weekly
I love my octopus and anything seafood. Baby octopus was something that I always struggled to cook as you can make it tough & chewy very easily. Ive learnt with baby octopus 4mins max gives you a perfect result, not chewy and retains all its flavours.
This is an easy recipe with a great marinade.
Enjoy
