Octopus in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It's hard to say that this is strictly Spanish cuisine—octopus is cooked everywhere there is easy access to seafood. I just happened to try it for the first time in Spain—that's where the recipe comes from. To prepare octopus in the oven, you'll need a large octopus weighing about 2 kilograms. I don't recommend using young potatoes—large, mature ones are perfect for baking. Check out the recipe. The finished dish can now be served.
