Last night, my friend told me that she wanted to taste an octopus recipe in a
fancy French restaurant at the mall. She was obviously craving for octopus. Since I owed her something, I decided to cook for her a simple octopus dish called Chili Lemon Octopus that I've learned from watching Food Network. I'm sure she's going to love it because it's delicious and rich with different flavors. In fact, I want to surprise her by cooking this recipe and taking her to the park this Saturday afternoon.
Ingredients
2 kg baby octopus
1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind, grated
3/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons hot chili sauce
4 gloves of garlic crushed
The first thing you have to do is remove the beaks and heads of the octopus. Then cut them in half. In a
large bowl, put together the octopus, juice, garlic, oil, and rind. Marinade it for three hours or more by covering it and putting it inside the refrigerator. Next you have to remove the octopus from it's marinade by draining it. After that, cook the octopus in a skillet until it's tender. After this you are now ready to serve the delicious seafood dish.
