If using frozen octopus, thaw it completely. Clean the octopus thoroughly, removing the beak, eyes, and any unwanted parts. Cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces.

In a large pot, gently boil the octopus pieces over medium-low heat until all its natural liquid has evaporated. This process helps to tenderize the octopus.

Remove the octopus from the pot and set aside. Add the diced onion to the same pot and sauté until translucent.

Return the cooked octopus to the pot with the onions. Pour in the thick coconut cream.
