How To Make fabulous octopus, cooked in its juices

Step 1

Rinse the octopus under cold running water and place it as it is in a large bowl. Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, bay leaf, garlic and oregano and combine all ingredients well

Step 2

Spread the sheets of the aluminium foil cross wise on a working surface. Place the octopus in the centre and pour over the marinade.
Step 3

Fold the aluminium foil over the octopus but leave it loose so the air can circulate. Bake it for 1h and 15-30 minutes at 180°C and serve. Enjoy!!!
