Spanish Octopus

Above and beyond the ingredients in this octopus recipe, the cooking method, or should I say methods, couldn't be easier. As long as you braise it gently on low heat, until just tender, and then give it a nice sear before serving, you should be in great shape. This smoky braised octopus is great served with crusty roasted potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

  • 1 large bay leaf
