Boiling Method:
Fill a large pot with enough water to fully submerge the baby octopus.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water (about 1-2 tablespoons per liter).
Carefully add the whole cleaned baby octopus to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 30-45 minutes. The exact cooking time can vary based on the size and tenderness desired.
To check for doneness, pierce the thickest part of an octopus with a fork or skewer. It should feel tender and offer little resistance.
Once cooked, remove the baby octopus from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate or cutting board.
Preparing for Serving:
Allow the baby octopus to cool slightly before handling.
Optionally, you can grill or sauté the baby octopus after boiling to add extra flavor and texture.
Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and minced garlic if desired.
