👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Wash the octopus thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Ensure it is clean and free of sand.
2
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bay leaves and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Add the octopus pieces to the pot and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to tenderize and release its liquid.
4
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped tomatoes (or tomato paste), and finely chopped hot peppers to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5
Season with salt and black pepper. If the mixture seems too dry, add about ½ cup of water. Cover the pot and continue to cook over medium-low heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the octopus is tender and the sauce has thickened to a stew-like consistency.
6
Remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
