I’ve been increasingly seeing fresh octopus at the fishmonger or in good-quality grocery stores. This is fun, as it means you can dare to prepare it and eat it more frequently. Admittedly, they look a little slippery, those tentacles, but don’t let yourself be deterred. You only have to braise them. Depending on the quantity and thickness of the tentacles, you should braise them for 1 to 3 hours. It helps to have a bit of acidity in your liquid, so braising in wine works great. Stories abou
