My mom is from Naples. She came here when she was in her 20's, she's 90 now. I made this for her a few days ago...it was pure joy watching her reaction to it, she loved it.

I cook octopus quite often as it is my favourite dish. My favourite recipes with octopus are the Portuguese style salad and obviously THE monument of Spanish cuisine the pulpo a la Gallega so your recipe will now be in my repertoire !
Something very important when you cook octopus is that consider that a good one third of it will ‘ disappear ‘ . I weighed them few times before and after boiling and always come to the same figure so it is to take into account for the quantity needed like if you need a kg of cooked octopus you will need a 1.5 kg one .
Also as you said the European ones are really good especially the brand ‘ El Rey del pulpo ‘, really top quality .

i did a lazy version of this but it was tasty. For some reason I was talking to them while I ate them like they were buddies

Made it! OMG, thank you Alessandra!!!!❤❤ Never made octopus before and my husband had loved the one we tried about 6 years ago at Tarpon Springs Florida. Never again did we have it, we live in Argentina and here it is wildly expensive, but I wanted to surprise him for his birthday. I watched lots of tutorials and read many recipes, but I loved you cooking the grilled octopus, he adored it (and he's not easy to please, let me tell ya!). As other viewers commented the only complain was, I want more! Lol. Ale, I got hooked on many of your videos, I plan to try more recipes of yours like the almond biscotti. Keep up your charm and Italy alive!!! Love hearing your stories while you cook!! Big hugs!! ❤❤

Saw Spanish octopus at Costco today. Never cooked octopus before and was a little intimidated. Thanks for the visual tutorial. It was amazing. Wife and daughter loved it. We're heading back to Costco to buy more. Tried a bit of the "soup" too.

I made this for my family and the only variation is that I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a mild kick! Yummy recipe 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This looks incredible. I have had this on holiday before. I have just defrosted some octopus tentacles so this is definitely being made today! So simple!

I really enjoyed this video. Suscribed! I will definately try this recipe as pan fried calamari is one of my favorite appetizers to get in restaurants.
