Method
- Clean the octopus very well and then, divide its tentacles.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300° F) set to fan.
- With a sharp knife, remove the beak of the octopus, spread the head and, as soon as you clean it, cut it into pieces.
- If the tentacles are large, cut them in half.
- Add all of the ingredients into a bowl, mix them well, and pour the mixture into a baking pan.
- Roast in the oven for 2 hours.
- Check that the octopus is ready by pricking it with a fork. Do the same for the potatoes, too. In case it needs more time, return the baking pan to the oven and roast it for 30 more minutes.
- Towards the end of the cooking time, check whether the water of the food has been reduced too much, and add a few tablespoons of water, if needed.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
Tip
Instead of adding the tentacles whole into your food, you can cut them into 3 cm pieces.
