For a long time, I had huge reservations about cooking octopus, even though I love eating it. I thought it would be very complicated and difficult to prepare. That was until I came across the method for cooking "polpo all'acqua sua" – here the octopus cooks slowly in its own juice. It's important to use a heavy cooking pot with a lid that seals firmly. This cooking method is super simple and the octopus always comes out tender. The perfect way to spoil your guests.
