Preparation
- Step 1
Put the octopus in a deep saucepan with vinegar, peppercorns, celery and onion. Cover with cold water. If possible, toss in two or three corks from wine bottles; they are supposed to help tenderize octopus.
- Step 2
Bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for an hour. Drain the octopus and transfer it to a bowl of ice water. Allow it to cool completely; then dry it before using in another recipe.
