Despite the freezing temperatures in Berlin I was in the mood for a summer dish. BTW I let the little octopus cook in its own juice with a good amount of olive oil on very low heat AND not in water. A method from Giorgio Locatelli in London. I should also mention that afterwards you could use the cooking juice for a soup or a sauce.
